Extract from the High Commissioner’s report on Durban with map and a caption, June 1951

Partial transcript

The Group Areas Act

9. I went through most of the Indian and Native areas in Durban discussed with the Mayor of Durban, the Provincial Secretary and others, the application of the Group Area Act to these areas. Up to date the Act has been brought into force in Durban to the extent of prohibiting except under licence, the transfer of the ownership or occupation of any land or premises to person of a different race from that of the previous owner or occupier. I attach a sketch map indicating the non-European areas.
