Birthplace and nationality

Our South Africa is the Republic of South Africa. So I unlinked his South African nationality.

Our article Union of South Africa says that was created in 1910 as a British dominion so that is where he "became famous". So linked.

Where was he born? According to two of our articles, UoSA was created from "four previously separate British colonies: Cape Colony, Natal Colony, Transvaal Colony and Orange River Colony" and the Boer War ended in 1902. Thus I suppose his 1903 birth in one of those four British colonies.

"South Africa" is now the {{Persondata}} PLACE OF BIRTH. That should change when we know better. --P64 (talk) 22:50, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have clarified the place of birth, showing its then and now locations. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 03:44, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
