Under acts of the South African Parliament, land was set aside for blacks in pseudoindependent territories (originally called "Bantustans" ), allegedly to allow to the blacks self-government and cultural preservation. In reality the homelands allowed the white government to control blacks and exclude them from the political process. Bophuthatswana was designated as a homeland for Tswana-speaking people.
