South
Africa is located in Southern Africa, at the
southern tip of the continent of Africa. The
country Geographic coordinates are 29 00 S,
24 00 E . South Africa completely surrounds
Lesotho and almost completely surrounds Swaziland.
From the establishment of the Union of South
Africa in 1910, the main division was into four
provinces. As early as 1913, however, ownership
of land by the black majority was restricted
to certain areas covering about 13% of the country,
and from the late 1950s these areas were gradually
consolidated into "homelands" (also
known as bantustans) to serve as the de jure
national states of the black population in fulfilment
of the white minority government's policy of
apartheid. In 1976 the homeland of Transkei
was the first to accept independence from South
Africa, and although this independence was never
acknowledged by any other country, three other
homelands followed suit.
From
1994 onwards, South Africa has been divided
into nine provinces. The former homelands were
reintegrated into the Republic on the eve of
the April 1994 general election which ended
minority rule.
