Definition:
The Representation of Blacks Act No 12 of 1936 (commenced 10 July 1936) further limits the Black franchise in South Africa – Blacks in the Cape are no longer eligible to vote for the common roll, but are placed instead on a separate roll – and halts the right to run for office. Africans through out South Africa will be represented in government by four white senators.
Repealed by the Representation between the Republic of South Africa and self-governing Territories Act No 46 of 1959.
