User:Beno1000/Banning (Apartheid)

Under the Apartheid system in South Africa, a ban was a police or court order similar to a house arrest. Typically, a banned person could only communicate with one person at a time from outside their immediate family, would have their movements restricted to a small administrative area, and could not write any document, whether for public or private consumption, and could not leave the country.

A ban was usually used to silence anti-Apartheid dissidents, especially where other sentences such as prison may only inflame social unrest.
