Answer:

International sanctions and increase in protests

Step-by-step explanation:

The Land Acts of 1950,1954, and 1955 resulted in the apportioning of 80% of South African lands to the whites and just 20% to the blacks. Pass Laws were instituted by the government, thus requiring colored people to carry documents that permitted their entrance into white areas. These acts of segregation and apartheid were met with protests among the black community and international sanctions.

For example, a violent protest that resulted in the death of 69 blacks and several injuries occurred in Sharpeville on March 21, 1960. South Africa received international sanctions from the United States and the United Kingdom in 1985. These and other censures resulted in the abolishment of the pass laws.
