	Union of South Africa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Union of South Africa came into being on 31 May 1910, resulting in the consolidation of the two Boer Republics with the two British Colonies under one system of government.
		The Union remained under the British Crown as self-governing dominion of the British Empire, and later the Commonwealth.
		Following a referendum on 5 October 1960, in which whites voted in favour of a republic, the Union became the Republic of South Africa on 31 May 1961 and left the Commonwealth in the face of condemnation of its apartheid policies.

		It is doubtful the union, modeled in part after the European Union, would have the power to reign in the despots and corruption-riddled governments that plague the continent, the critics said.
		The union's other key element is the New Partnership for African Development, which seeks billions of dollars of international investment in Africa in return for stable democratic governance and fiscal responsibility.
		Critics doubt their leaders' commitment to a union that in theory will take away some of their power, and they question whether it will be allowed to use soldiers to end civil conflict and human rights abuses in African countries.

	ONE BIG UNION! South Africa's New Giants of Labour
		Instead of unions being hopelessly fragmented, so that you find as many as 15 unions in some workplaces, some independent, others affiliated to different federations and some even in bitter rivalry with each other, all unions in a single workplace should be joined into a single fighting organisation.

		When the warrants were issued for Red and Blue ensigns for the Union of South Africa in 1910-12, the Red Ensign came to be regarded by the citizenry as the national flag, erroneously of course as the national flag of the Union officially remained the Union Jack.

		This version of the South African Red Ensign continued in use in the merchant navy until 1951 when it was finally displaced at sea by the South African national flag in terms of the Merchant Shipping Act of that year.

		Unions were outlawed because the government said that if the African miners earned even half of what American miners did, the gold mines would have to shut down.
		Since South Africa produced half the world’s gold, and Russia most of the rest, a shut down of the South African mines would greatly increase the price of gold and Russia would benefit from that, which was something the West did not want.
		I was in the Union of South Africa in 1960 as a roving correspondent for Scripps-Howard newspapers when I came to be a fugitive from the apartheid enforcing Boer Afrikaner police at the time of the Sharpsville massacre.
