South Africa
Sunday, May 24, 2009 - 19:40
Where? South Africa is the most southern country in Africa, just below Namibia to the top left and Mozambique to the top right and Zimbabwe to the top middle. Madagaskar is also to the right of South Africa if you look from above.
Political situation The political situation is pretty stable at the moment. South Africa is democracy with the main politics parties being the DA (democratic alliance), the ANC (African National Congress) and more smaller parties. South Africa has a general election ever 4 years and the next one to take place is in 2009. Currently the ANC is running the country now but this could change when the elections come.
Issues / Crime Although South Africa is the most beautiful country in the world the recent government has not managed to control crime which are now the highest levels in the world. The most dangerous places in South Africa probably would be Johannesburg and Pretoria. The Western Cape is fairly safer than the Johannesburg / Gauteng regions. Crime is currently a worse problem in South Africa, even worse than the joblessness and lack of fast internet which is caused by Minister of Communications Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri also known as Poison Ivy. This woman is the single biggest issue South Africa faces as the biggest problem to having fast and competitive internet. Why she still is in government shows the lack of knowledge they have to employ capable people to do their jobs. Other things are corruption. Recently the government closed down the country's elite crime fighting unit called the Scorpions, this was a move because most people running the country is part of some corruption scheme and they had personal issues with the Scorpions.The police is also fairly corrupt and police brutality is on the rise in South Africa.
Weather South Africa has some of the best weather in the world, we have the really hot times and then the really cold winters at some places. The coldest areas in the winter is usually inland close to Bethlehem and Bloemfontein as well as the Karoo. South Africa has had some big storms recently which destroyed many roads and businesses in Cape Town, the capital city of the Western Cape also known as the mother city. List of cities and towns in South Africa
In 1910 four selfgoverning British colonies in Southern Africa - The Cape, Natal,
the Orange River Colony and Transvaal - were united into the Union of South Africa,
a semi-independent Dominion part of the British Empire. (1)
Following the Imperial Conference of 1926 the Union became one of the equal members
of the British Empire and in 1931, with the Statute of Westminster, it finally
achieved full sovereignty, while remaining a member of the British Commonwealth.
(1) Dutch style used until 1925 : Unie van Zuid Afrika
Afrikaander style used 1925 - ca 1933 : Unie van Suidafrika
Afrikaander style used since ca 1933 : Unie van Suid-Afrika
From 1925 Dutch was gradually replaced as official language by its South
African variant, Afrikaans.
Unlike Australia or Canada the new Union had no federal structure and the
former colonies were reduced to provinces under direct authority of the
central government.
BOER REVOLTS DURING WWI
In 1914, taking advantage of the outbreak of WWI, some Boers, hoping for
German assistance, revolted in an attempt to restore the ancient independent
republics of the Orange Free State and of Transvaal.
By 1915 the revolts had however been quelled by the South African army.

SOUTH AFRICAN HIGH COMMISSION
The High Commission in Southern Africa was established in 1847. It was in charge of
the relations between the British government and all South African territories and
peoples not under direct Britsih control, meaning all regions outside the British
colonies of the Cape and Natal. In practice this were at some point :
- the Boer states (the Orange Free State, the South African Republic, ...),
- the Black nations and states (Basotho, Bechuana, Pondo, Zulu, etc),
- the Griqua chiefdoms,
- the territories of the British South Africa Company (BSAC),
(+ the German and Portuguese possessions in Southern Africa until 19..)
As British rule expanded, its jurisdiction area was gradually reduced, and after
the transfer of the BSAC territories to direct British administration in 1923, the
only territories remaining under its control were :
- the three protectorates of Basutoland, Bechuanaland and Swaziland,
- the autonomous British colony of South Rhodesia, but only as far as its policy
towards its Black majority was concerned.
This supervision over South Rhodesian affairs ended in 1937 and thereafter only the
three protectorates remeinded under the High Commission.
HIGH COMMISSION FOR SOUTH EAST AFRICA
In the troubled years 1879 - 1881 - the period of the Zulu War, of the occupation
of the South African Republic, etc - there existed for some time a separate High
Commission for South East Africa, which covered :
- Natal and Zululand
- Transvaal (South African Republic)
- Griqualand West (since 1880)
High Commissioners
1879 - 1880 LtGen. Sir Garnet Joseph Wolseley 1833 - 1913
1880 - 1881 MajGen. Sir George Pomeroy Colley 1835 - 1881
After the death of Pommeroy Colley the separate High Commission ended and its area
was returned to the South African High Commission.
