How white european settlers stole South Africa From the Native Indigenous Black People:

The Natives Land Act of 1913

Native Land Act of 1913

Union of South Africa

On the morning of Friday June 20, 1913, the Indigenous Native Black South Africans found themselves not exactly a slave, but an immigrant and a foreigner in their own Ancestral Homeland.

The millions of Black South Africans were distributed as follows:

—Over 1 million on settlements/reservations, limited reserve areas for Blacks.

—Over half a million in Townships.

—Over 1 million as immigrant farmers on farms owned by European settlers

—The rest were employed to work on either the public roads or on the railway lines or servants (slaves) to European farmers and settlers.

Indigenous Native Black South Africans did not know their landless new conditions in their own Ancestral Homeland until the end of June, 1913. It was only when they went to register their land leases, that the legal officer of the crown (European settlers) revealed the cruel fact that to provide land to a landless Native is forbidden under The Natives Land Act of 1913, with a penalty of 100 pounds or 6 months imprisonment. Only then did Indigenous Native Black South Africans realize their landless new condition and situation in South Africa, their Ancestral Homeland.
