}}The '''South African civil war''' was a multi-sided domestic conflict in [[South Africa]] fought between various factions. The war was primarily between the [[Government of South Africa]] and the insurgencies to establish independent states.
==Background==
===Cape independence===
===Bantustan===
For most of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apartheid apartheid] in South Africa there was semi-independent "Bantustans" also known as a ''Bantu homeland'' and it was a territory that South Africa set aside for black inhabitants to keep them segregated from the white Robloxians, the Bantustans maintained sizeable autonomy and whilst recognised as independent by South Africa they did not have any international independence with lobbying in the [[United States House of Representatives]] to not recognise any of the Bantustans.
