The province was created in 1910 and initially included a Cape colony and several smaller areas: British Bechuanaland (not to be confused with the Bechuanaland protectorate, now Botswana ), East Griqualand ( English Griqualand East ) and West Griqualand West )

Of all the provinces, Cape was the only one where the colored ones (as representatives of the mixed race are called in South Africa) had the right to vote. However, this right was abolished with the advent of the National Party in 1948, which proclaimed apartheid its official policy.

In 1994, the Cape Province was divided into three: Western Cape , Eastern Cape and North Cape . A small part of the territory at the same time passed to the North-Western province .
