Aliwal was a constituency in the Cape Province of South Africa, which existed throughout the first-past-the-post era (1910 to 1994) with the exception of the 1920 and 1921 elections. Named after the town of Aliwal North, the seat covered a large rural area along the Cape’s northeastern frontier, bordering the Orange Free State province as well as Lesotho and, after its nominal independence in 1976, the Transkei bantustan. Throughout its existence it elected one member to the House of Assembly and one to the Cape Provincial Council.
