N.C.
The South African National Convention (Dutch: Zuid-Afrikaanse Nationale Konvensie) was held from 12 October 1908 to 11 May 1909 in Durban, Cape Town and Bloemfontein, under the chairmanship of Lord Henry de Villiers. After the Treaty of Vereeniging in 1902, certain socioeconomic and political situations arose which had a bearing on all four British colonies which then constituted South Africa. The recommendations of the convention, and their implementation through a bill passed by the British parliament, formalized the relations between the former colonies under a new Union.

Representatives and
Immediately after Milner's Representatives of the Cape colony (12), Transvaal Colony (8), Colony of Natal (5), and Orange River Colony (5) were in attendance. It was preceded by an inter-colonial conference in Pretoria on 4 May 1908, which was also attended by representatives of Mozambique and Rhodesia.

Implementation
The Convention settled on the terms and constitution of a South African governmental, legislative, and economic Union. The proposals were transmitted to the British government, which duly prepared a bill, the South Africa Act 1909, to give effect to these wishes. The bill was passed by Parliament on 20 September 1909 and on 20 September 1909 King Edward VII of the United Kingdom proclaimed that the Union of South Africa would be established on 31 May 1910. This Act, which essentially brought into being the South African state as it is known today, served as the South African constitution for over fifty years, during which time the Statute of Westminster greatly increased South Africa's independence from Britain.

<!--William Paterson, pp86-87, February 1779: In the night we arrived at a place, called the K'a Cha Chow, which is one of he branches of the Boshman's River, and where there was formerly a house belonging to our companion, Jacob Kock. The morning, of the third, I requested Mr. Kock to accompany us to the Great Fish River, with which he readily complied. We thence pursued our journey to the eastward, through a pleasant country, though quite uninhabited. There are numerous herds of quadrupeds to be found here, of the different species which have been already described. The grass was so high that it reached our horses bellies. This part of the country is agreeably diversified with little pleasant woods upon the declivities of the hills; and here I found a species of Leucadendron which was quite unknown to me, and many other beautiful plants. A species of Palm, mentioned by Mr. Mason in his Second Journey, is also scattered over the whole country; I found several upwards of twenty feet in height. The Hottentots make bread of the pith of this plant; the method of preparing which I shall take another opportunity of describing. In the evening we came to a place, called Now Tu. p88 At night we arrived at the Fish River, where we stayed two days. ... Here the river assumes a southern direction, and empties itself into the great Indian Ocean, at about twenty miles distance. The deepest parts of the river are inhabited by the Hippopotamus, ... Seeing no possibility of proceeding farther with our waggon through the impenetrable woods, ... I proceeded easterly towards the Caffres, being informed that we could reach their country in two or three days. ... In passing through the thickets, on the banks of the Fish River, we encountered considerable difficulties, till we fortunately got into an Elephant's path, in which we continued till noon. We then crossed the river and entered a spacious plain, ... p89: After passing this extensive plain, we entered a wood about eight miles broad. ... After leaving the wood, we ascended a steep mountain, where we had a view of the Indian Ocean to the southward; and to the northward, a hilly country covered with trees and evergreen shrubs, which extended about thirty miles. The prospect was bounded by a range of mountains, called the Bamboo Berg, on which grows a species of Bamboo. To the east we had a view of a pleasant country decorated with great variety of plants. ...Towards the evening, of the seventh, we observed ... a Caffre village. p90: This village consisted of about fifty houses, situate on the banks of a pleasant river, called in the Caffre language, Mugu Ranie; ... one village to another, till we arrived at the place belonging to ... their chief or king. His habitation was situated on a pleasant river, called Becha Cum, or Milk River. ... p91: On the ninth, I proposed to proceed farther to the east, allured by the pleasantness of the country, and its affording ... p92 variety of unknown plants, but found there was a river a little to the eastward of us, called by the natives, the Kys Comma. We then determined to return the same way we came. The large Palm, mentioned before, grows here in abundance, and is used for bread by the Caffres as well as the Hottentots. They take the pith of this plant, and after collecting a sufficient quantity, let it lie for several days till it becomes a little sour; after this they bake it in an oven which is erected for the purpose. p95 When we returned to our waggon, on the ninth, we ... we took leave of them. We directed our course towards the Great Fish River, where we stayed all night. ... On the twelfth we proceeded on our return by the route we had before taken; ... We arrived at the Now Tio towards evening. p96 ... found [our cattle] at the Boshman's River, about twenty miles distant. ... Upon our arrival at Cableows Rivier, we agreed to remain in that place a few days. ... we directed our course south by west, towards the house of our companion, Mr. Kock, which is situated on the Zie Koe Rivier, or Sea Cow River, so called from its being formerly inhabited by the Hippopotamus. ... p97 We proceeded westward from this place, and on the first of March, in the evening, arrived at the house ... where we rested that night, and the next day passed the Krome Rivier. -->
