Bantustans in South West Africa
- Bantustans in South West Africa
[
1976] Beginning in 1968, and following the 1964 recommendations of the commission headed by Fox Odendaal, homelands (or Bantustans) similar to those in South Africa were established in South West Africa (present-day Namibia). In July 1980 the system was changed to one of separate governments on the basis of ethnicity only, and not geography. These governments were abolished in May 1989 at the start of the transition to independence.
Of the ten homelands established in South West Africa, only three were granted self-government.
