Bophuthatswana “homeland”


During 1961-1994 there were various elections that took place in the old Homelands – each culture elected their own leaders, have an anthem of their choice, a flag, own schools and businesses, Bophuthatswana also develop their own money and handle most of their own exports.
For any people to get their independence worldwide, it is an international right, and it is or never was an apartheid state – Most Tswana people are still living there, and some in poverty, like the rest of us, but they live on their traditional lands with their own leaders – before 1994 it was a 16 piece area – while the Zulu homeland  have more (18) but today have 9 different areas in Ingonyama Trustland.
MOST OF THOSE TRADITIONAL GROUPS ALSO HAVE CPA’S OF THEIR OWN – LAND CLAIMS

The Bophuthatswana president was President Lucas Manyane Mangope who was also commander in chief for the Bophuthatswana Defence Force.
