What is inside

Under the Separate Development policy, South Africa was divided, with 87 percent of the land allocated to the White population and only 13 percent to people of color, including the Black population, Indians, Chinese and Malaysians, whose numbers far exceeded that of the White population. Following the implementation of this policy in November 1961, police raided the Durban home of a biracial couple—an Indian man and a European woman, who was pregnant at the time. The couple had married in Zimbabwe and later moved to Durban for work. Despite their legal marriage, they were expelled from South Africa, as they had no legal right to remain in the country.
