Venda
Venda was a
bantustan in northern
South Africa, now part of
Limpopo province. It was founded as a
homeland for the Venda or vha-Venda ethnic group, speakers of the
Venda language.It was declared self-governing on
February 1,
1973. On
September 13,
1979, it was declared independent by the South African government and its residents lost their South African citizenship. In common with other Bantustans, its independence was not recognized by the international community.It was initially a series of non-contiguous territories in the
Transvaal, with one main part and one main
exclave. Its capital, formerly at
Sibasa, was moved to
Thohoyandou (which included the old Sibasa administrative district) when Venda was declared independent in 1979. Prior to independence it was expanded to form one contiguous territory, with a total land area of 6,807 km². Its population in 1991 was 558,797, with the majority of Venda peoples in Southern Africa living within its territory. The state was cut off from neighboring
Zimbabwe by the Madimbo corridor, patrolled by South African troops, to the north, and from nearby
Mozambique by the
Kruger National Park.
