Lucas Mangope Biography
Mangope het President van die onafhanklike staat Bophuthatswana geword in 1977, hoewel slegs Suid-Afrika en later Israel die onafhanklikheid van dié staat erken het. In 1988 het ‘n staatsgreeppoging deur Rocky Malebane-Metsing misluk, nadat die SA regering ingegryp het om die opstandelinge aan te keer. Hy het die President van Bothuthatswana gebly tot 1994, toe gewelddadige opstande teen die Mangope se weiering om voor die 27 April 1994 verkiesing weer by Suid-Afrika in te skakel.
Op 14 Maart 1994 is Mangope deur Suid-Afrika se Minister van Buitelandse Sake, Pik Botha en Transitional Executive Council (TEC) lid, Mac Maharaj amptelik van sy pligte onthef.

Voor hierdie stap het Mangope die hulp van sy vennote in die Vryheidsalliansie, ‘n groep wat die Afrikaner Volksfront en die Inkatha Vryheidsparty insluit, ingeroep om te keer dat ‘n ANC-geleide opstand hom omver werp. Dit het egter gelei tot die dood van 60 mense, hoofsaaklik deur Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) wat Mangope sonder uitnodiging te hulp gesnel het. Mangope se verset teen die opstand het daarmee ten einde gekom.
Mangope is in 1998 skuldig bevind op bedrog klagtes wat spruit uit sy uitvoerende mag gedurende die Bophuthatswana bewind. Hy het die United Christian Democratic Party (UCDP) gestig na die 1994 verkiesing en die party het ‘n klompie setels gewen, met die Noordwes Provinsie as sy steunbasis.

Sasha Polakow-Suransky has written that Mangope was "widely considered a puppet and a joke in South Africa" during his presidency. Have you read details about Gwede Mantashe ? Mangope was nevertheless given some recognition during visits to Israel, meeting with prominent figures such as Moshe Dayan. (Bophuthatswana had an unofficial "embassy" in Israel in the 1980s despite objections from the Israeli Foreign Ministry, which did not recognize the bantustan as a state.)
After the transition to multiracial democracy, Mangope remained active in politics. His party became the United Christian Democratic Party which is one of the leading opposition parties in North West Province.
