Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Bophuthatswana ( BOH-poo-tət-SWAH-nə, lit. 'gathering of the Tswana people'), officially the Republic of Bophuthatswana (Tswana: Repaboleki ya Bophuthatswana; Afrikaans: Republiek van Bophuthatswana), was a Bantustan (also known as "Homeland", an area set aside for members of a specific ethnicity) that was declared (nominally) independent by the apartheid regime of South Africa in 1977. However, like the other Bantustans of Ciskei, Transkei and Venda, its independence was not recognized by any country other than South Africa.

Summary from Nederlands / Dutch Wikipedia (nlwiki)

Bophuthatswana, kortweg Bop genoemd, was een thuisland in het noorden van Zuid-Afrika, ca. 40.000 km² groot. Bophuthatswana bestond uit zeven enclaves, verdeeld over de voormalige Zuid-Afrikaanse provincies Kaapprovincie, Transvaal en Oranje Vrijstaat. De hoofdstad eerst Mahikeng en later Mmabatho lag in een deel dat grensde aan Botswana. Het land was bedoeld om er de Tswanasprekende volkeren, de Batswana, in onder te brengen. In 1983 bedroeg het aantal inwoners ruim 1.430.000. Ook in Zuidwest-Afrika werd een kleine Bantoestan voor de daar wonende Batswana gecreëerd, Tswanaland genaamd.
