KwaNdebele was a bantustan in South Africa, intended by the apartheid government as a semi-independent homeland for the Ndebele people. The homeland was created when the South African government purchased nineteen white-owned farms and installed a government.[3]

History

[edit]

The homeland was granted self-rule in April 1981. Siyabuswa was designated as its capital, but in 1986, the capital was relocated to KwaMhlanga. The KwaNdebele legislature expressed interest in seeking independence (as in the cases of Transkei, Bophuthatswana, Venda and Ciskei) in May 1982. Some preparations were made, but an exceptional lack of viability in economic affairs and land disputes prevented this.[4][5]

KwaNdebele was re-integrated into South Africa after the 1994 South African general election. It now forms part of the Mpumalanga province.
