National party seats[edit]

The http://africanelections.tripod.com/za.html site gives the Nats 134 seats? Which is correct - neither adds up? http://www.binghamton.edu/cdp/era/elections/saf77par.html gives them 138!

The existing source seems a copy of http://www.answers.com/topic/south-african-general-election-1977?

Given some sources quote the total seats as 165 the 134 may be correct?
