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.

Kind of. The first colony in modern-day South Africa was the Cape Colony which was owned by the Dutch. The British took the Dutch territory over in 1806 and colonized the rest of South Africa themselves. South Africa gained partial independence in 1910 and full independence in 1931. They retained close ceremonial and economic ties until 1961.
