It is divided into nine provinces of the Republic of South Africa.
On the eve of the 1994 elections, the Bantustan regions were disbanded, and the four administrative entities that exist today were formed.
Each province has a unicameral legislature that governs the whole province. Depending on the province, the number of members of the legislative bodies can range anywhere from 30 in the Northern Cape, where the provinces are the least populous, to 80 in KwaZulu-Natal, which has the greatest population density.
The members of the Assembly choose one of them to serve as the head of the executive branch of government (Premier).
