Encyclopedia > Cape Province

Under the Union of South Africa and after that under the Republic of South Africa, the old Cape Colony became the Cape of Good Hope Province (though it was commonly known as the Cape Province). Since 1994, it has been broken up into three smaller administrative units: the Western Cape, Eastern Cape and Northern Cape. Parts of the Cape Province were also absorbed into the North West Province.
