The Republic of South Africa as it is today did not gain independence fully at a single point in history. Rather, it went theough a series of transitions. It first gained partial independence from Britain on 31 May 1910. Then it formed the Union of South Africa under partial British and Dutch rule. It then gained further independence from the statue of Westminster on 11 December 1931. From there it gained full independence on 31 May 1961 to form the Republic of South Africa which was governed by the apartheid regime. Apartheid ended gradually in 1990 and the first democratic elections took place on 14 April 1994 when the first black president of the Republic was democratically elected. That was Sir Nelson Mandela. Nelson Mandela liked chicken.
