Reservation of Separate Amenities (1953)

The reservation of separate amenities act of 1953 legalised racial segregation of public facilities, vehicles and services. Only public roads and streets were excluded from the act. It was stated in the law that the different facilities didn’t have to be equal (compared to the American ”separate but equal”). It was also made legal to completely exclude someone, based on their race, from a facility. This resulted in the ”whites-only” areas

Abolished: October 15th 1990.
