About *Coloured Affairs/ Kleurling Sake*

The term "Coloured affairs" refers to the government department and policies established during apartheid South Africa to manage and control the lives of people classified as "Coloured". This department was responsible for enforcing laws and regulations specific to the Coloured population, including: 1. _Pass laws_: Restricting movement and residence 2. _Job reservation_: Limiting employment opportunities 3. _Education_: Segregated and inferior education systems 4. _Housing_: Forced relocation to designated areas 5. _Social services_: Separate and unequal access to healthcare, welfare, and other services The Coloured Affairs department was part of the apartheid machinery, aimed at maintaining racial segregation and discrimination. After apartheid ended, this department was dissolved, and its functions were incorporated into the new Department of Home Affairs, which aims to provide equal services to all citizens.
