Grand and Petty Apartheid

• Grand Apartheid was the deprivation of legal rights.
• Petty Apartheid meant segregated public amenities.
• The removal of Petty Apartheid was part of the Total Strategy of P.W. Botha.
• Botha hoped he would be able to maintain white supremacy by giving way in less important areas.
• In 1978, the Afrikaner University of Stellenbosch admitted its first non-white students.
• In 1979, black trade unions were legalised, and businesses could employ non-whites in some skilled and semi-skilled jobs.
• In 1981, beaches in Cape Provinces were desegregated. Locally, in many cinemas and other public places, particularly in Cape Province, ended segregation.
• There was significant increase in state funding of education for black students.
• In 1982, black townships could elect councillors and become self-governing and self-financing.
