The South-West Africa Constitution Act, 1968, was a law enacted under the apartheid regime by the Parliament of South Africa that established a framework for the internal self-government of South West Africa (now Namibia). While it created a legislative assembly and executive body for the territory, it reserved ultimate power and control over key areas to the South African government. The act was a central instrument of South Africa's administration of the territory during a period of intense international dispute over its legal status and was repealed upon Namibia's independence in 1990.
