Bantustan
A bantustan was any tribal reserve for indigenous black inhabitants of South Africa and South-West Africa (now Namibia), as part of the racial segregation policies of apartheid. Ten bantustans were established in South Africa, and ten in neighboring South-West Africa (then under South African administration), for the purpose of concentrating there members of designated ethnic groups, thus making each of those territories ethnically homogeneous.
