This article is written in South African English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, realise, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |
I know far to little to edit the article myself, yet. However, I find it quite odd that there is such an incredibly brief mention of racism, and that section seems to suggest it was principally just against foreigners. In discussing citizenship and voting, it seems to suggest whoever is born there could be citizen. The article should be clear whether blacks were excluded officially by law, or unofficially by practice. So, there's basically nothing about the large majority of the people living in the SAR. Also, the population figure says 120,000. Are those just the white citizens, or everybody? -- Rob ( talk) 05:08, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

A map without a key is essentially useless; it's impossible to tell whether the red region is ther Transvaal, or the green region, or both. Can it be replaced? MrDemeanour ( talk) 17:42, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
