Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The University of the Western Cape (UWC; Afrikaans: Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland) is a public research university in Bellville, near Cape Town, South Africa. The university was established in 1959 by the South African government as a university for Coloured people only. Other universities in Cape Town are the University of Cape Town (originally for English-speaking whites), Cape Peninsula University of Technology, and Stellenbosch University (originally for Afrikaans-speaking whites). The establishing of UWC was a direct effect of the Extension of University Education Act, 1959. This law accomplished the segregation of higher education in South Africa. Coloured students were only allowed at a few non-white universities. In this period, other "ethnical" universities, such as the University of Zululand and the University of the North, were founded as well. Since well before the end of apartheid in South Africa in 1994, it has been an integrated and multiracial institution.

Summary from Afrikaans / Afrikaans Wikipedia (afwiki)

Die Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland (UWK), of ook die University of the Western Cape (UWC), is in 1960 opgerig as 'n universiteit vir Kleurlinge in Bellville, naby Kaapstad. Ander universiteite in of naby Kaapstad is die Universiteit van Kaapstad (University of Cape Town, UCT, oorspronklik vir Engelstalige blankes) en die Universiteit van Stellenbosch (oorspronklik vir Afrikaanssprekende blankes).

Met dié wet is die segregasie tot in die hoër onderwys deurgevoer. Kleurlinge het slegs toegang gehad tot 'n beperkte aantal universiteite en is nie meer toegelaat by blanke universiteite nie. Ook ander "etniese universiteite", soos die Universiteit van Zoeloeland en die Universiteit van die Noorde, is in dié tydvak opgerig.
