==Verwoerd and the Bantustans==

Dr.Hendrick F Verwoerd, Prime Minister of South Africa from 1957 until 1966, re-organised Apartheid to avoid it acquiring negative connotations. Bantus (Blacks) were allocated homelands (Bantustans) in which they were eventually, during the second phase of Apartheid, to be moved permanently. Blacks employed in White South Africa were allowed to remain as migrant workers provided that they had their pass books and were gainfully employed. Verwoerd also changed the terminology associated with Apartheid, from Apartheid to seperate developement.

Blacks who had jobs deemed unrequired in White South Africa (as Whites filled them), such as Doctor or barrister, were despatched to their ethnicity-based homeland.
