Headline: a1956_T348_2 Title: Drum Magazine social history photographs, South Africa edition 161 Description: A 'Native' by Mistake – Mr Holyoake, the 'Coloured' who was classified as a 'Native', has won his appeal with the Reclassification Appeal Board. He is a 'Coloured' again. The Holyoake children even attend a school for Coloureds exclusively. From the end of 1955 the 'Coloureds' have been harassed by the need for the reclassification of their racial status in terms of the Population Registration Act of 1950. To be reclassified as an African could, everybody understood only too well, mean a whole new train of daily embarrassments and disabilities, but hundreds of 'Coloureds' went over to the Native Affairs Department, and there came up grim stories of comb and pencil tests, nose and ear inspections, and of people summarily classified as African.
