23 July 1925
Daniel F. Malan, the then minister of the Interior, announced the introduction of the Areas Reservation and Immigration and Registration Bill also known as the Asiatic Bill. The Bill defined Indian people as aliens and recommended the limitation of their population through a repatriation process. This Bill was far more stringent than its predecessor, the Class Areas Bill, which had been introduced to merely enforce segregation.
