As the homelands were seen by the apartheid regime as embryonic independent nations, all fl South Africans were registered as citizens of the homelands, not of the nation as a whole, and were expected to exercise their political rights only in the homelands.
The White population of South West Africa, predominantly German, considered its interests akin to those of the Afrikaners in South Africa and therefore supported the National Party in subsequent elections.

South Africa, the Nationalist Party proclaimed of a country in which Blacks outnumber Whites four to one, had to be 'kept white'.
