Well, that was basically the original, ill-fated, concept of apartheid - dividing South Africa into separate nation-states for the various ethnic groups in South Africa such as the Afrikaners, Xhosa, Zulu, etc. to have their own countries. In a minority-rule society, the idea was an improvement from the status quo for most of the population, but of course in practice, the transfer of land and political power necessary for sovereignty to be restored to indigenous black Africans never happened.

Anyway, this place is more of a cult than a real town. One has to be concerned about children who grow up in such a place.

How was stripping Africans of their South African citizenships and forcing them into bleak, infertile "Bantustans" and improvement for most South Africans?

The Bantustan policy was what I was talking about when I said that the necessary transfer of land never happened. Afrikaners were only supposed to keep a minority share of the land in South Africa, but they ended up keeping something like 85% of the land. In retrospect, the idea itself was impractical and foolish.

The transfer of land was never going to happen because the NP was avowedly white supremicist.

Even then, the concept of stripping people of their nationality without their consent and forcing them to live in certain areas, whether endowed with sufficient political autonomy and viable geography or not, is pretty horrific.
