Neither the Netherlands nor Belgium offer working holiday opportunities to South Africans, and with the UK's immigration laws that also changed, none of the Commonwealth nations offer working holiday permits to South Africans any more.
Maybe the section on Global presence be changed to reflect this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wimc ( talk • contribs) 10:36, 2008 December 23 (UTC)
Comment on some big deletes - one wonders about a slight bias - I cannot see any of this material as historically contentious - though several recent edits did appear as 'agenda edits'- just an opinion.

This language is compliant with WP:MOS and in reality - numerous deletes and lengthy debates about the few sentences added - seems rather POV - this version completed the 'thought' left half expressed in the last paragraph version - it seems reasonable, it should not be contentious and above all it is accurate and cited.

In the twentieth century,
Afrikaner nationalism took the form of political parties and closed societies, such as the
Broederbond. In 1914, the
National Party was founded to promote Afrikaner interests. It gained power by winning
South Africa's 1948 general elections. The party was noted for implementing a harsh policy of racial segregation (
apartheid) and declaring South Africa a republic in 1961. Following decades of domestic unrest and
international sanctions that resulted in
bilateral and multi-party negotiations to end apartheid, South Africa held its
first multiracial elections under a
universal franchise in 1994. As a result of this election the National Party was ousted from power, and was eventually was dissolved in 2005.
