I was in the Union of South Africa in the early 80’s and saw a very different country from what our evil politicians were painting. I stayed in a first class hotel that contained many Africans who ate in the same dining room in which I did, attended Sunday mass where the congregants were about 50/50, saw excellent housing conditions, much industry, very little littering and Africans driving new Mercedes’.

You were in the Republic of South Africa, the country's official name after 1961.
The Afrikaners were republicans from their anti-British heritage and were actually one of the groups that pushed the "British Commonwealth of Nations" to drop the "British" from its name.
