The act of rendering Blackness is on the body and the land, is prototyped with in a museum through the performance of mapping the characteristic of black, as drawn in Apartheid legislator, to evidence the hauntings of the colonial gaze, that transfers of agency of blackness. Prompted by the writings of Achille Mbembe Necro politics, where he argues, to include not only individuals experiencing death, but also experiences social or political death.

The Population Registration Act, Act No 30 of 1950
​
The Population Registration Act provided that all South Africans be racially classified in one of three categories: White, Black or Coloured. According to this Act Indians fell under the Coloured category. The criteria used to determine the qualification into each of these categories was based on appearance, social acceptance and descent. The Act described a White person as one whose parents were both White. The other things that categorised a person as White were his habits, speech, education, deportment and demeanour. Blacks were defined as being members of an African race or tribe, and Coloureds as people who were neither White nor Black. The Department of Home Affairs was responsible for handling the classification process of the citizenry. As a result of this Act Blacks were forced to carry passbooks, the infamous “dompas” which had their fingerprints, photo and information in order to accessnon-Black areas.

The Group Areas Act, Act No 41 of 1950
​
After its election victory, the National Party regime institutionalized and consolidated existing discriminatory and segregation policies and bills. In 1948 the National Party government extended and strengthened the Group Areas Acts. The primary aim of this Act was to make the residential separation compulsory. The Acts laid down legal provisions on the specific areas where different population groups could own property, reside and work. There was quite a range of reasons why this Act was introduced and strengthened. The primary reason was to curb the movements of the non-Whites, in particular Blacks from rural areas into the big cities and Whites-only areas. The influx into the big cities was stimulated by the booming economy. To counter the influx and consolidate the growing numbers, the government set up semi-urban townships for Black, Indian, and Coloured population groups. With the establishment of these urban areas, the government was attempting to keep riots and any other form of threat by non-Whites on the White population group, under control. The Act also cut across all traditional property rights and led to the evictions of thousands of Blacks, Coloureds, and Indians. It became a source of resentment to the non-Whites. The Indian community was the most affected as they were forced out of the central city areas where they had previously operated their businesses. Commenced: 7 July 1950. It was repealed by section 44 of the Group Areas Act, Act No 77 of 1957.
