This March 9, 1984 set from the Republic of South Africa commemorates the installation of the 1983 constitution, which further institutionalized the country's apartheid situation. From Wikipedia, "Among the 1983 constitution's most controversial provisions was the establishment of the Tricameral Parliament, a legislative arrangement that would permit the Coloured and Indian race groups to be represented in parliament on a segregated basis, and the abolition of the office of Prime Minister in favor of an executive State Presidency under the ruling Prime Minister P. W. Botha."  |

From Wikipedia, "The newspaper would, however, lose much of its readership in 1892, when it endorsed Cecil Rhodes in its conflict against the president of Transvaal, Paul Kruger."  |
