I think you mean "Does South Africa have a Colony". South Africa did at one time control another nation in Africa. In 1915, during WWI, the South African Army (which was at that time a British Dominion) captured the German colony of South-West Africa. After the war ended the South African government was granted permission to rule South-West Africa as a "Mandate". This meant that they controlled South-West Africa much like a colony, but they had to abide by rules put in place by the League of Nations. When South Africa itself became completely self-governing in 1931 it gained even more control over South-West Africa, and in 1990 it granted South-West Africa independence as Namibia.

∙ 10y agoBefore 1910, South Africa was made up of small Crown Colonies who had all been controlled by the United Kingdom for years. In 1910, the colonies united to become the Union of South Africa, a Dominion. This meant they were a partially self-governing nation, but the UK still had the authority to legislate for South Africa. In 1931, South Africa became completely independent but still retained ceremonial ties with the UK (for example, they still worked together in trade and kept the Queen as their Queen, as well). This ended in 1961.
