Verwoerd Again Presses for Apartheid Policy
In a London parliamentary address Dr Verwoerd reiterates support for racial separation in South Africa. He argues nations should have own territories within a federation and cites decades of apartheid laws from 1909 onward, detailing separate representation, the Group Areas Act, bans on mixed marriage and detention powers, and white dominance across politics and sport. The assassination of Verwoerd underscores tensions in a region still under white rule.
