  National Party (South Africa) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
As the homelands were seen by the apartheid regime as embryonic independent nations, all fl South Africans were registered as citizens of the homelands, not of the nation as a whole, and were expected to exercise their political rights only in the homelands.
In a move unrecognized by the rest of the world, the former German colony of South West Africa (now Namibia), which South Africa had occupied in World War I, was effectively incorporated into South Africa as a fifth province, with seven members elected to represent it in the South African Parliament.
Another goal was achieved in 1960, when the white population voted to sever South Africa's ties with the British Monarchy and establish a republic, which led to South Africa's withdrawal from the Commonwealth.

 GANDHI AND SOUTH AFRICA
Towards the end of his life, he gave guidance and support to the Indian passive resistance movement in South Africa (1946-48), which was to inspire all the oppressed people and lead to the emergence of the great national movement of that country.
A year after he arrived in South Africa as a 23-year-old barrister, Gandhiji decided to devote himself to serving the Indian community which was subjected to discrimination and humiliation by the white rulers.
Gandhiji had dedicated himself in South Africa to serving the small Indian community which was being subjected to discriminatory and humiliating measures in breach of undertakings by the British and colonial governments, in violation of acquired rights and in disregard of professions of British Imperial policy.

 British and Irish Lions Tour to New Zealand in 2005 - Lions-Tour.com - History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The South African tour of 1924 saw the tourists set out as the British Isles rugby team but return as the now famous British Lions.
Bravely captained by Englands Ronald Cove-Smith, the Lions suffered on the hard grounds in South Africa and injuries forced many players out of the action with others having to play in unfamiliar positions to cover the vacant positions.
The South Africans ran out 3-0 winners in the test series, but the Lions put up a valiant display and could have at least won the drawn test match at Port Elizabeth but for an unfortunate missed penalty in front of the posts that should have won the match.
