He was an ally and associate of Hendrik Verwoerd, the Minister of Native Affairs from 1950 to 1958 and the Prime Minister of South Africa from 1958 to 1966. He led the Eiselen Commission, an advisory board that investigated native education and formed the basis of the Bantu Education Act of 1953 which moved control of education of South Africa's blacks from missionary schools to local government control. It also made starting a "Bantu" school without permission and registration from the government illegal.
