Passage 1 What is apartheid? It is the policy of keeping African inferior, and separate 1 Europeans. They are to be kept separate by not being allowed to live 2 citizens with rights in European towns. They may go to European towns to work, 3 they may not have their families there; they 4 live in “Bantustans”, the native areas. They are not to mix 5 Europeans by sitting in the same cafes, waiting 6 , compartments of trains, seats in parks, etc. Twelve percent of the land is left for the Africans to live and farm 7 , and this is mostly dry, poor, mountainous land. Yet the Africans are three-quarters of the people. They are forced to go and work 8 the Europeans, not only because their lands do not grow 9 food to keep them, but 10 because they must earn money to pay their taxes. Each adult African man has to pay 1 pound a year poll tax, and ten shillings a year tax for his hut. When they go into European areas to work, they are 11 allowed to do skilled 15 work; they are hewers of wood and drawers of water, and their wage is about one-seventh of __12__ a European would earn for the same kind of work. If a European 13 an African to do skilled work of the kind, reserved for 14 , such as carpentry, both the European and his African employee may be fined 100 pounds. Any African who 15 part in a strike may be fined 500 pounds, and/or sent to prison for three years.
