Rehoboth (or Basterland) was a Bantustan in South West Africa (present-day Namibia) intended by the apartheid-era government to be a self-governing homeland for the Baster people in the area around the town of Rehoboth.
The Bantustan existed until 29 July 1989, a few months prior to the Independence of Namibia.
Governance
The Rehoboth Self-government Act, 1976 established a Government of Rehoboth consisting of a Legislative Council with the ability to pass legislation known as "Acts" and a Kaptein's Council, led by an elected Kaptein.[1] The office of Kaptein itself dates to the period of German colonial rule.
