The Black Homeland Citizenship Act of 1970 was a denaturalization law passed during the apartheid era of South Africa that changed the status of the inhabitants of the bantustans (black homelands) so that they were no longer citizens of South Africa. The aim was to ensure that white South Africans came to make up the majority of the de jure population. The introduction of the Black Homeland Citizenship Act also ensured that the white population of South Africa would have its contact with the 'non-white' population reduced to a bare minimum.
