Bantu languages are spoken largely east and south of present-day Cameroon, that is, in the regions commonly known as Central Africa, Southeast Africa, and Southern Africa. Parts of the Bantu area include languages from other language families (see map)., Thohoyandou is a town in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. It is the administrative centre of Vhembe District Municipality and Thulamela Local Municipality. It is also known for being the former capital of the bantustan of Venda.

Ten Bantustans were established in South Africa, and ten in neighbouring South West Africa (then under South African administration), for the purpose of concentrating the members of designated ethnic groups, thus making each of those territories ethnically homogeneous as the basis for creating "autonomous" nation states for South Africa's different black ethnic groups., Venda, also known as "Tshivena" or "Luvena", is a Bantu language and an official language of South Africa.

The country's first multiracial elections under a universal franchise were held three years later in 1994.

Prior to the 1940s, some vestiges of apartheid had already emerged in the form of minority rule by white South Africans and the socially enforced separation of black South Africans from other races, which later extended to pass laws and land apportionment. Apartheid as a policy was embraced by the South African government shortly after the ascension of the National Party (NP) during the country's 1948 general elections. Apartheid was also enforced in South West Africa until it gained independence as Namibia in 1990., Subject: sibasa, Relation: located_in_the_administrative_territorial_entity, Options: (A) africa (B) angola (C) antarctica (D) atlantic ocean (E) botswana (F) cameroon (G) central (H) district (I) djibouti (J) earth (K) east (L) england (M) europe (N) geneva (O) india (P) indian (Q) lesotho (R) limpopo (S) madagascar (T) malawi (U) manhattan (V) meridian (W) mozambique (X) nairobi (Y) namibia (Z) new york ([) new york city (\) niger (]) north (^) northern (_) northwest (`) noun (a) of (b) polokwane (c) pretoria (d) red sea (e) south (f) south africa (g) southwest (h) swaziland (i) tanzania (j) the nation (k) thulamela local municipality (l) vhembe district municipality (m) west (n) zimbabwe
