Ciskei
Ciskei was a Bantustan, or homeland, created by the apartheid government for Xhosa-speaking people in what is now the Eastern Cape of South Africa. Declared independent in 1981, it was recognised by no country except South Africa. Ruled first by Lennox Sebe and from 1990 by the military leader Oupa Gqozo, it was reincorporated into South Africa in 1994.
