目前高等教育系统体制结构的起源可以追溯到种族隔离的总规划者亨德里克·韦尔沃德的地缘政治想象力，以及他关于“分开但平等发展”的反动意识形态愿景。这一点是通过1959年颁布的《大学扩张法》实现的，该法远远没有根据高等教育固有的普遍价值扩大接受高等教育的机会，限制了种族和族裔的入学机会。它的主要目的是双重的。第一，确保历史上的白人机构服务于南非白人的教育、意识形态、政治、文化、社会和经济需求。第二，建立制度，培养出顺从、顺从的受过教育的黑人阶层，为种族隔离想象中虚构的故乡服务。在这个目标上，它惨败了。这些机构成为学生抵抗的温床，最终导致了种族隔离制度的灭亡。
The origins of the current institutional structure of the higher education system can be traced to the geopolitical imagination of apartheid’s master planner, Hendrik Verwoerd, and his reactionary ideological vision of “separate but equal development”. This was given effect through the enactment in 1959 of the Universities Extension Act, which far from extending access to higher education on the basis of the universal values intrinsic to higher education restricted access on race and ethnic lines. It main purpose was to twofold. First to ensure that the historically white institutions served the educational, ideological, political, cultural, social and economic needs of white South Africa. Second, to establish institutions that would produce a pliant and subservient class of educated black people to service the fictional homelands of apartheid’s imagination. In this aim it failed miserably. The institutions became hotbeds of student resistance, which ultimately contributed to apartheid’s demise.
