Provinces of South Africa

South Africa is divided into nine provinces (Tswana: diporofense; Sotho: diprovense; Northern Sotho: diprofense; Afrikaans: provinsies; Zulu: izifundazwe; Southern Ndebele: iimfunda; Xhosa: amaphondo; Swazi: tifundza; Venda: mavunḓu; Tsonga: swifundzankulu). On the eve of the 1994 general election, South Africa's former homelands, also known as Bantustans, were reintegrated and the four existing provinces were divided into nine. The twelfth, thirteenth and sixteenth amendments to the constitution changed the borders of seven of the provinces.
