    Submissions received
    (CODESA, 1993) South Africa. Negotiating Council of the Multi-Party Negotiating Process. Commission on the Demarcation/Delimitation of States/Provinces/Regions
    These documents contain submissions from individuals, traditional leaders, political parties, municipalities and NGOs regarding the division of South Africa into regions. Many of them contain maps illustrating the proposed regions. The submissions are broken down into categories, which unfortunately exclude submissions from individuals: Technocratic submissions. These submissions present scenarios based solely on technical criteria, such as water supply, telecommunications, electricity, policing, etc. They contain no references to political criteria such as legitimacy. None of these submissions recommend that further consultation might be necessary. Right Wing submissions. There are 4 submissions in this category. All of them refer to specific regions which they claim as a “volkstaat”. They all propose different regions for a “volkstaat”. Only one of the submissions makes reference to mechanisms for grassroots consultation among Afrikaners regarding regional boundaries. National Political Actors. There are 8 submissions in this category from political parties. Some of the parties suggested that further consultation was needed. Political actors such as the Transkei, Ciskei and Bophutatswana produced regionally specific, rather than national maps. Others. These include submissions from various organization such as SACOB, DBSA, Free Market Foundation, NAFCOC, etc.

    Survey of available information on the criteria for the demarcation of regions
    (CODESA, 1993) South Africa. Negotiating Council of the Multi-Party Negotiating Process. Commission on the Demarcation/Delimitation of States/Provinces/Regions
    The Commission on the Demarcation/Delimitation of Regions undertook a survey of the information pertaining to the demarcation of regions, including where such information was located and in what form it was available. Using designated criteria for the demarcation of regions as the terms of reference, the Commission was able to identify the types of information that might be needed. The survey was preliminary in nature, and was therefore not comprehensive. The categories of information collected were grouped into the following topics: 1. Socio-economic/development 2. Physical infrastructure 3. Social infrastructure (Health, Education and Welfare) 4. Institutional and administrative capacity 5. Finances, including income and expenditures of TBVC, SGT and regional governments 6. Maps of boundaries (i.e. provincial, magisterial, district and RCS boundaries). Information and data published in articles, institutional documents and statistical reports are included in the survey. The survey also includes a development information framework document, which was provided by the Development Bank of Southern Africa's Centre for Information Analysis. In addition to this, the Department of National Health and Population Development provided a document on health trends in South Africa.
