This is a list of diplomatic missions of South Africa. South Africa dramatically expanded its diplomatic presence globally, especially in Africa, in the immediate years after the end of apartheid. It was the only country to have embassies in the various bantustan states of Transkei, Venda, Bophuthatswana and Ciskei that South Africa established. During apartheid, it was one of the few countries to recognise Taiwan as the Republic of China, when it become a democratic nation it established diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China in 1998.[1]
