Cape Province
The Cape Province was the largest of the former four provinces of South Africa . It emerged from the Cape Colony in 1910 . The capital was Cape Town .
At the head of the province was one administrator (administrator).
In the 1960s, as a measure of South African apartheid policy, tribal areas of the black population were separated from provincial territory. The homelands Bophuthatswana (also in the area of the Transvaal and Free State provinces ), Transkei (also in the area of the Natal Province ) and Ciskei were created .
With the redesign of the South African provinces in 1994, the Cape Province was divided into the new provinces of North Cape , Western Cape , Eastern Cape and (with parts of the Transvaal ) Northwest , integrating the Homelands .
