Bushmanland (South West Africa)
Administrative history
Bushmanland was established by the South African authorities with the issue of Proclamation 208 in 1976.
No government or second-tier authority was established for the San Bushmen as it was believed that "they had evinced no interest in having a governing authority". Instead a Bushman Advisory Council was established in 1986.
Bushmanland, like other homelands in South West Africa, was replaced by a system of non-geographic ethnic-based administrations in 1980, which were in turn abolished in May 1989 at the start of the transition to independence.
