Suppression of Communism Act

The 1950 Suppression of Communism Act was legislation of the National government in South Africa. It purported to ban organizations that supported communism, though it used a very loose definition that deemed anyone advocating equality of races a 'statutory communist'.

It was one of the most ruthless acts laid upon the non-white majority of South Africa and was established as part of the regime of Apartheid.
