Today in Kimberley's History 
April 1st

​Something happened today in Kimberley's history, but we don't know about it yet...

ANC launches mass boycott of Bantu Education - 1955
African National Congress (ANC) launches mass boycott of Bantu Education. Bantu education referred to the administration of education for blacks under the Apartheid system of racial discrimination. High standards of education were reserved for Whites with poor provisions made for black people. Bantu education came into effect in 1955 after the government had passed the Bantu  Education Act. The boycott did not succeed because the government warned that those who did not return to school before the deadline of 25 April would be expelled. This divided the ANC between those people who wanted to continue with the boycott and those who thought it was better for learners to return to school.
