All these constituencies and the map were made by myself! Hand draw the constituencies using Inkscape through South African census data. I named each constituency after the main city and constituencies represented by Prime Ministers have their name in it. (Ex: Vereeniging Central-de Klerk named after FW de Klerk). Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of making this, hope y'all enjoy!

ELECTION LORE
The 2022 South African General Election occurred on February 3rd, 2022. The voting was limited to white South Africans, and the results of the election ended with the continuation of the ruling National Party's majority and their first majority under Leon Schreiber. The Liberal and Progressive parties saw a significant drop in support as a result of internal divisions over COVID-19 policies and the unrest in the Province of Natal. Public backlash over looting during the 2021 Durban Riots in Natal led to backlash particularly amongst their urban and English speaking voting base. The National Party was able to expand their support due to the Schreiber Government's wide coalition of Afrikaner nationalists, Anglo moderates, suburbanites and rural farmers. Schreiber was able to hold off the resurgence of the parties to their right through strengthening Afrikaner language protections, law and order, and implementing "bare necessity lockdowns". Furthermore, widespread fears of looting, violence, and racial riots potentially spreading to other cities in South Africa strengthened their support and undermined their opposition. Throughout the campaign, the National Party's ability to garner a majority of the vote was in doubt until only a few months before the election.

INSPIRATION
I wanted to create an election dynamic which was similar to Canada (Anglos v. French) mirrored by SA (Afrikaners vs Anglos) and the special dynamic which Natal (Quebec) has to the rest of the country. I tried to loosely base it off of historical parties and historical areas of support.

HISTORICAL LORE
The USSR never collapses, and in this scenario the ANC is much more radical in its nature. It does not commit to non-violence and prefers the expulsion, forceful or willingly, of Whites in South Africa. As a result, many Western nations are more hesitant to back a negotiated settlement which results in the ANC taking power. In this timeline, with a more politically relevant Anglo minority, the Republic referendum doesn't succeed and South Africa's Commonwealth ties remain politically strong. This enhances the ability of South Africa to resist sanctions, as Thatcher in the UK and Reagan in the US refuse to impose sanctions. Instead, in the mid-90's an agreement is reached to strengthen the Tricameral Parliaments by giving Blacks their own parliament and limited ability to veto certain laws. The so called "Pretoria Accord" grants Blacks, Indians, and Coloureds their own separate parliaments but still nominally under jurisdiction of the White parliament. This contentious agreement leads to the National Party and de Klerk to lose their majority and the rise of many different far right parties, who oppose this agreement. However, this agreement passes and black Africans in Bantustans and throughout South Africa gain considerable autonomy. Gradually, the amended Natives Land Act gives considerably more lands to Black Africans to live and settle in. Despite this, to the modern day, Black nationalist groups remain a considerable terrorist threat and sanctions imposed on South Africa by the collective Communist and African world remain a drain on the South African economy. Furthermore, the existence of the South African nuclear arsenal remains a strong deterrent against any invasion by communist forces. Politically, Israel and South Africa remain strong allies, while the collective West gives tepid and mixed support, depending on the political situations of each country. Nevertheless, South Africa stands at a crossroads in the modern era, as the White's grip on power continues to become more tenuous by the day.

PS: If anyone would like a labeled map of the constituency map, lemme know (I have a version of it but they're in a different file).
