	The Global Influence Of Platformism Today: South Africa NEFAC
		At the time, South Africa's workforce was divided racially, with most skilled jobs being the preserve of whites, unskilled labor undertaken by blacks (under indenture contracts and strict controls over movement and residence), with Indians, coloreds ("mixed-race", a large group) and poor whites falling somewhere in the middle.

		South Africa is a country where platformist influence has had a huge impact on the burgeoning anarchist movement.

	South Africa - Building the Legal Structure of Racial Discrimination
		Most important, the Natives Land Act (No. 27) of 1913 separated South Africa into areas in which either blacks or whites could own freehold land: blacks, constituting two-thirds of the population, were restricted to 7.5 percent of the land; whites, making up one-fifth of the population, were given 92.5 percent.
