south africa's prohibition of mixed marriages act, passed in 1949 under apartheid, forbade marriages between whites and anyone deemed to be non-whites. the population registration act (no. 30) of 1950 provided the basis for separating the population of south africa into different races. under the terms of this act, all residents of south africa were to be classified as white, coloured, or native (later called bantu) people. indians were included under the category "asian" in 1959. also in 1950, the immorality act was passed, which criminalized all sexual relations between whites and non-whites. the immorality act of 1950 extended an earlier ban on sexual relations between whites and blacks (the immorality act [no. 5] of 1927) to a ban on sexual relations between whites and any non-whites. both acts were repealed in 1985 as part of the reforms carried out during the tenure of p. w. botha.
