his solution was to offer the blacks the apparent chance to develop as they wanted, separately from the whites in their homelands, which, if their inhabitants wished, could become completely independent nations. these he called bantu national units. although his critics preferred the term bantustans, and he argued that the policy of separate development is designed for the happiness, security and stability provided by their home language and administration for the bantu as well as the whites\.... the policy was a total success with the white population who rewarded hendrik f. verwoerd and his national party with their votes.

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
To rewrite the prompt: We need to compare Hendrik F. Verwoerd's beliefs about "separate development" (from Source 1) with the actual conditions and results of the Bantustan system (from Source 2). Then, make a claim about whether Bantustans were successful, using evidence from both sources.

For the claim: The Bantustan system was not a success. From Source 1, Verwoerd claimed it was for the happiness and stability of both groups, but Source 2 shows Africans were forcibly evicted into 13% of the land (fragmented), with few resources, jobs, or legitimate governance. The system was more about white dominance (popular with whites, per Source 1) but oppressive and unworkable for Africans, as they couldn't support their populations and had limited rights.

# Answer:
## Rewritten Prompt:
Compare what Hendrik F. Verwoerd said his "separate development" (Bantu National Units) was supposed to achieve (from Source 1) with how the Bantustan system actually worked and what came of it (from Source 2). Then, state whether you think the Bantustan system was successful, and use details from both sources to back up your opinion.

## Claim & Support:
The Bantustan system was not a success. Verwoerd (Source 1) argued "separate development" would bring happiness, security, and stability for both Blacks and Whites, and it was popular with White voters. However, Source 2 reveals Africans were forcibly moved into just 13% of South Africa’s land, which was split into fragmented "Bantustans" with little industry, minerals, or jobs. These areas couldn’t support their populations, forcing residents to work in White - controlled parts of the country. Additionally, Bantustan governments lacked legitimacy and popular support, and African voting rights were restricted to Bantustan structures, meaning they had no real power in the broader South Africa. Thus, the system failed to deliver on Verwoerd’s promises and instead enforced racial segregation and oppression.
