Tswanaland was a bantustan in South West Africa (present-day Namibia), intended by the apartheid government to be a self-governing homeland for the Tswana people. A centrally administered local government was created in 1980.
Tswanaland, like other homelands in South West Africa, was abolished in May 1989 at the start of the transition to independence.
The South African bantustan of Bophuthatswana was also known as Tswanaland from 1961-1968.
