Description
This comprehensive government-issued reference work offers an in-depth overview of South Africa in 1985, during the height of apartheid. It covers the countrys political system, economic performance, social services, international relations, and homeland policy. The yearbook also includes statistical data and official narratives on education, health, transport, industry, agriculture, security, and race-based legislation. Published by the Department of Foreign Affairs (Bureau for Information), it reflects the states perspective at the time and was intended for both local and international audiences seeking to understand or justify South Africas governance under apartheid.
