My grandparents had a long standing established small-holding farm in Crawford, and were told in no uncertain terms by the then National Afrikaner Party to either move out of that then declared Crawford 'Coloured Area' into a 'White Area', or they would be declared 'Coloured'. My grandparents having no intention of relinquishing their property, livelihood and friends in that area at the wims of the Afrikaner National Party to begin all over again just to be registered 'White', found it ludicrous becuse all of our family then had white birth certificates. They refused point blank and accepted the label of 'Coloured'. Now here is a kicker that occurred further down the track to get this all into perspective to show how stupid this colour problem was and still is in South Africa. This is well documented that because the Afrikaner National Party felt that they required more 'White' people to increase their population , they began canvassing those 'Whites' then classified as 'Coloureds' to be reclassified as 'Whites'. Our families were part of that insidious plan but our answer was an adament NO! This should clear up the misconception!
