Segregation was defined as the imposed separation of groups the practice of keeping ethnic, racial, religious, or gender groups separate.

In other words, Bantustans were established for the permanent removal of the Black population in White South Africa. The idea was to separate Blacks from the Whites, and give Blacks the responsibility of running their own independent governments, thus denying them protection and any remaining rights a Black could have in South Africa. The Bantustans were a major administrative mechanism for the removal of Blacks from the South African political system under the many laws and policies created by Apartheid. The Bantustans or homelands, established by the Apartheid Government, were areas to which the majority of the Blacks population was moved to prevent them from living in the urban areas of South Africa.
