The first president of South Africa was Charles Robberts Swart, who served from 1960 to 1967. He was the last Governor-General of the Union of South Africa and became the first president after the country was declared a republic in 1961. However, if considering the post-apartheid era, Nelson Mandela is often recognized as the first democratically elected president, serving from 1994 to 1999.
