South Africa Travel Information - Brief History of South Africa

After the British seized the Cape of Good Hope area in 1806, many of the Dutch settlers (the Boers) trekked north to found their own republics. The discovery of diamonds (1867) and gold (1886) spurred wealth and immigration and intensified the
subjugation of the native inhabitants. The Boers resisted British encroachments, but were defeated in the Boer War (1899-1902).

The resulting Union of South Africa operated under a policy of apartheid - the separate development of the races. The 1990s brought an end to apartheid and ushered in black majority rule.

South Africa is now a republic. Its capital is Pretoria, however Cape Town is the legislative center and Bloemfontein is the judicial center. There are nine provinces in South Africa:

• Eastern Cape
• Free State
• Gauteng
• KwaZulu-Natal
• Limpopo
• Mpumalanga
• North-West
• Northern Cape
• Western Cape
