context_page_description: East Caprivi or Lozi was a bantustan in South West Africa, intended by the apartheid government to be a self-governing homeland for the Lozi people. It was set up in 1972, in the very corner of the Namibian panhandle called the Caprivi Strip. It was granted a self-governing status in 1976. The homeland was renamed Lozi soon after. Unlike the other homelands in South West Africa, East Caprivi was administered through the Department of Bantu Administration and Development in Pretoria.
  East Caprivi, like other homelands in South West Africa, was abolished in May 1989 at the start of the transition to independence.
