Baasskap
The Baasskap ( domination of the Master in Afrikaans) is a practice of Racial discrimination consisting in drawing up hierarchical reports/ratios of Master (White) with servant (Black) in the daily life. This practice was established in South Africa as of the 17th century but took this name only at the 20th century. It induces that the white man must always be the chief.
Contemporary starting from the 19ère century of the practice discrimante of the British Color bar, the baasskap was replaced gradually by the policy of separate development of the people (or the races) known under the name of Apartheid of which the goal was to institutionalize the Racial segregation with the more high level but especially to set up within South Africa of the national states (Bantoustan S) reserved at the black populations.
The baasskap, although in theory incompatible with the policy of an absolute geographical apartheid, nevertheless was maintained and integrated partly in the legislation following impossibility of separating geographically and definitively the populations.
Johannes Strijdom, Prime Minister of South Africa of 1954 with 1959 was the principal partisan of the maintenance of the practice of Baasskap.
The defense of the concept was definitively abandoned under the government of John Vorster with the profit of the fight against the Communisme, but its spirit maintained in practice in the social relations.
