The pre-Constitution era in South Africa in the 90s saw a great deal of political violence and a breakdown in Law and Order. If the country decided their best option going forward was a partition, what would it look like?
I figure you would probably have KwaZulu-Natal outside of Durban ruled by the Zulu King, perhaps an independent Western Cape, possibly an Afrikaner state (but this is really unlikely and hard to bring about), and maybe one of the old Bantustans recieves independence (like the one that had the coup), with the rest of the country (and Durban) ruled by the new government of the National Democratic Revolution under the ANC. The Xhosas would buy into the new state, which they would dominate.
And if the idea of partition is completely infeasible, is it possible that the pre-election violence could have been worse?
