The selection of the capital city of the Eastern Cape province & The fall of a former capital city : Umtata
Abstract
This paper examines the selection of the capital city of the Eastern Cape Province in 1994, an important concern in post-apartheid political geography. Initially there were four contenders, Bisho- King William's Town, Umtata, Grahamstown and Port Elizabeth. Grahamstown withdrew from the competition in the early stages of negotiations preferring to remain the judicial capital of the Province. Bisho-King William's Town won the competition.
