why was the separate amenities act passed
That law, also known as the Reservation of Separate Amenities Act, was passed so that South Africaâs white government could create segregated and unequal facilities without fear that they would be declared illegal by the countryâs courts. Before 1953, segregation already existed in South Africa.t did these things because the white government of South Africa wanted the legal right to segregate non-whites in inferior facilities and /or to exclude them from facilities altogether.
