A bantustan or homeland was territory set aside for black inhabitants of
South Africa and
South-West Africa (now
Namibia), as part of the policy of
apartheid. Ten bantustans were established in South Africa, and ten in neighbouring South-West Africa (then under South African administration), for the purpose of concentrating their members of designated ethnic groups, thus making each of those territories ethnically homogeneous as the basis for creating autonomous nation states for South Africa's different black ethnic groups.
