@kemopokemotswana: #Abolition of Apartheid Laws : Upon declaring independence , the administration of the late President Lucas Mangope formally scrapped petty apartheid laws ( such as discriminatory pass laws and interracial - marriages prohibition ) inside Bophuthatswana . #Legal Equality: The territory framed its constitution to allow people of different races - including white business owners , professionals , and residents - to live , work and own property without the rigid racial segregation enforced in white -ruled South Africa . #Foreign professionals - such as educators , Doctors and technical experts from countries like Ghana , Uganda, India, Swaziland , UK and many more , lived and worked in the former Republic of Bophuthatswana during apartheid era . These professionals lived in towns like Mmabatho and Mafikeng under special contracts and expatriate designations . #A Contrast the South Africa : Proponents use this to argue that Bophuthatswana functioned as an early multi- racial or non- racial society years before the 1994 democratic transition .
