Everything about The Fagan Commission totally explained
The
Fagan Commission was set up by the
government of
South Africa in
1947 to investigate changes to the system of
segregation.
The main recommendation of the commission's report was that influx control of African people to urban areas should be relaxed. This in turn would increase the flow of
labour and prevent the problem of migrant labour living in distant rural areas. The Fagan report called for the creation of a stabilised population of African workers within urban areas to create a reliable work force for business as well as an increased consumer base for retailers.
The report was published at a time when
Jan Smuts' popularity was low and his detractors had more support. In response the
South African National Party created their own commission called the
Sauer Commission. Its report suggested the exact opposite of the Fagan Commission, i.e segregation should continue and be implemented across all social and economic areas of life. The rise of postwar
Apartheid can be attributed to the Sauer commission.
