WI:British and South African Homestead Acts

Say in the early 1900s Britain and South Africa offers something similar to the homestead acts and offers 300 areas of land to any white setter in their East and south African colonies

How many people would settle in Africa

Would there be more white minority ruled states or even white majority states

Not much more than OTL.

By 1900, all the good land was already owned by whites. It's just that it was far cheaper to hire native Africans than it was to hire your fellow white settlers, so white ownership of the land didn't really translate into white settlement.

You'd need genocide or a reverse Bantustan to have a majority white country in Africa.
