Vintage Apartheid Government Era Stamp From BANTU ADVISORY BUREAU

This stamp was to prove authenticity of papers / documents and to co-inside with the head of that specific department's signature, that the item is authentic and this stamp was used in the same Era and was put through by the accompanying decision of President Verwoerd of that time. These stamps are supposed to be destroyed once it is no longer in use or the Act has been changes such as it has so this item should not exist.....

Quoted from the internet : "The Urban Bantu Councils Act, Act No 79 of 1961, formed part of the apartheid system of racial segregation in South Africa. It replaced the Advisory Boards created earlier by the Natives Urban Areas Act of 1923, and permitted democratic election of new municipal councils with African chairmen which were assigned some administrative duties."
