The first thing that happened in the Republic of South Africa, the country as it exists today, is the former Governor-General of the British colony, Charles Robberts Swart, became the first State President in 1961.

The first thing that happened in South Africa ever is obviously less clear. The fossil record shows that early hominids Australopithecus africanus were in the area between 3.03 and 2.04 million years ago in the later Pliocene and early Pleistocene epochs.
