In the South African context, the term Coloured refers to various people of mixed Bantu, Khoisan, and European descent (with some Malay or Indonesian ancestry, especially in the Western Cape) together with some racially "pure" Khoisans. In the apartheid era in order to keep divisions and therefore maintain a "race" focused society the term Coloureds was used as one of the four main racial groups identified by law: Blacks, Whites, Coloureds and Indians. (The terms are capitalised in apartheid era law.)
