The nine territories are known as Bantustans.
Bantustans were an important part of racist Apartheid legislation. It forced blacks to live on "tribal reservations". This separated them from whites and forced them to realign their nationality from South Africa to the assigned Bantustan. Ten separate Bantustans were established.
The territories where south African tribal groups had originally lived
Bantustans/homelands given nominal independence within South Africa during the Apartheid era - Transkei, Bophuthatswana,Venda and Ciskei.
The primary motivation behind the creation of the Bantustans in South Africa was to separate the black population from the white population and consolidate control over resources and land for the white minority government. This system was part of the apartheid policy, which aimed to maintain racial segregation and divide the population based on ethnicity.
Answer this question… A wave of forced relocations into Bantustans
The Bantu Homelands Citizenship Act of 1970 made every black South African, irrespective of actual residence, a citizen of one of the Bantustans, thereby excluding blacks from the South African body.
Living conditions in Bantustans were generally poor, with overcrowded and underdeveloped infrastructure, limited access to basic services like healthcare and education, and high levels of poverty and unemployment. The apartheid government intentionally restricted resources and opportunities in these areas to justify the forced relocation of Black South Africans.
The Transkei is now officially known as the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa. It was one of the former Bantustans established during apartheid, and after the end of apartheid, it was reintegrated into South Africa in 1994. The region retains cultural significance and historical identity, but its administrative designation has changed to reflect its status as part of the broader province.
Transkei is currently known as the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. It was one of the former bantustans created during the apartheid era, designated for black South Africans. Following the end of apartheid in the early 1990s, Transkei was reintegrated into South Africa, and its former territorial identity has since been incorporated into the broader Eastern Cape region.
The British Mandate of Palestine was disolved and the independent State of Israel was founded on 78% of that land in 1948, with the remaining 22% under Jordanian and Egyptian occupation. The disappearance of Palestine in 1948 is no different that the disappearance of Rhodesia, New Grenada, and numerous other territories that were given names by colonists that the local inhabitants rejected. However, there is currently a State of Palestine which has de jure control of the Gaza Strip (as of 1993) and some bantustans in the West Bank (as of 2000). This Palestine should be on your map.
Apartheid - Afrikaans for 'separateness' or 'apart-hood' was essentially a policy which aimed to keep political control of South Africa in the hands of the white minority.Black South Africans were supposed to exercise their political rights in the rural 'homelands' (or Bantustans) which had little or no influence and comprised a small percentage of South Africa. As most people lived in the rest of South Africa, this meant, of course, that they had no say over their own lives, were rigorously separated and discriminated against residentially; educationally etc (much as in the southern states of the USA at the time).
