As South Africa as we know it today was only formed in 1909 you could say it became a British colony then, but a lot of that area was under British control from 1795.

In 1910, South Africa became a dominion of the British Empire, a self governing colony.

In 1931 South Africa was effectively granted independence from the United Kingdom with the passage of the Statute of Westminster.
