	South Africa - LoveToKnow 1911
		As a geographical unit South Africa is usually held to be that part of the continent south of the middle course of the Zambezi.
		The languages spoken in South Africa by the inhabitants of European descent are English and Dutch, the latter chiefly in the form of a patois colloquially known as the Taal.
		With one exception, that of Moshesh, the chief of the Basutos, none of the chiefs with whom treaties were made were men powerful enough to found kingdoms, nor had they, in most cases, any better right than their neighbours to the territory recognized as theirs by the British government.

	Chief Justice of South Africa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The position of Chief Justice was created upon the formation of the Union of South Africa in 1910, with the Chief Justice of the Cape Colony Sir Henry de Villiers being appointed the first Chief Justice of the newly created Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of South Africa.
		The position of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Appeal of South Africa, the successor court to the Appellate Division, was, as a consequence, renamed, "President of the Supreme Court of Appeal."
		Under South Africa's Interim Constitution of 1993 and later the Final Constitution, the importance of the position of Chief Justice as the position of final judicial authority was temporarily relegated beneath that of the President of the newly created Constitutional Court.
