Allocation of land to Bantustans according to the Odendaal Plan. The homeland of Rehoboth is in the centre of the territory.

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.
