Southern Africa was the last region on the continent to obtain majority rule. The independence of Zimbabwe (1980), Namibia (1990) and democracy in South Africa (1994) ended white settler minority regimes. They were replaced in power by liberation movements. The Zimbabwe African National Union (Zanu, later Zanu-PF), the South West African People’s Organisation (Swapo) and the African National Congress (ANC) have been in government since then.

Photo: Muzi Ntombela BackpagePix JOHANNESBURG – Kaitano Tembo preached humility after SuperSport United got the better of their cross-town rivals Mamelodi Sundowns to advance to the final of the MTN8 for the third year in a row.

By Robert O'Connor BBC Sport From the section European Football   58 Share this page Shakhtar last played at their home ground in May 2014 A little after 10pm, there's not one set of footsteps to be heard on the pavements of Donetsk.
