The Group Areas Act is being implemented up to the hilt. Ask Coloured people and Indian people whether they think matters are becoming easier for them and whether there has been a lessening of the tension and the insecurities they have suffered since this government under its new Prime Minister started functioning. I will not even mention the same old nonsense with regard to passport refusals. visa refusals. all those. what I would call. examples of "enlightenment" that we have in South Africa. As far as the Africans are concerned. the pass laws and influx control have all been tightened up. The administration has been tightened up in every possible respect. There has been the five percent reduction of African labor in the Cape. the prohibition on employment of African migrants in certain categories of labor and the great hardships affecting African women in the urban areas. who since the new administrative regulations have been applied are finding it increasingly difficult to prove their right to be in the urban areas and to stay in houses in which they have lived for years with their children. if their husbands die. desert them or divorce them. Enlightenment? Honorable members have no idea of what is going on only 10 miles outside of Cape Town.
