FRONT NATIONAL applies to International Sports Bodies to affiliate Republic of Stellaland. FRONT NATIONAL submitted the following request for affiliation of the Republic of Stellaland to: The International Rugby Board The International Cricket Board Fifa (Soccer) International Tennis Federation International Hockey Federation FINA (Swimming) IJF (Jukskei) On the 26th of July 1882 the independent and sovereign Republic of Stellaland was established in an area of 15 500 km² bordering on the Cape Colony, Zuid Afrikaansche Republic and Protectorate of Bechuanaland. The independence of the Republic was recognized and a democratically elected government existed. In 1884 an agreement was reached and signed by Lord Alfred Milner on behalf of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and all her dominiums and president Van Niekerk of the Republic of Stellaland. According to this document the Republic of Stellaland became a British Protectorate with the same status as that of Lesotho, Swaziland and Bechuanaland (Botswana) Front National recently submitted a restitution claim, for recognition of the status as British Protectorate of the former Republic of Stellaland, to the South African government, the British Government and the United Nations. This claim is based upon the following submissions: 1. Stellaland is still a British Protectorate brought about by an agreement signed by Sir Alfred Milner on behalf of the British government and President Van Niekerk of the Republic of Stellaland in 1884. 2. Stellaland did not take part in the Anglo-Boer War of 1899 – 1902 and was indeed, as a British Protectorate, used to base British troops in the conflict. 3. Stellaland as a territory was not included in the peace negotiations of 1902 at Vereeniging, comprising of the Cape Colony, Natal Colony, Transvaal and the Free State. 4. Stellaland was not mentioned in the establishment of the Union of South Africa in 1910 from which the Republic of South Africa flowed in 1961. 5. It is our submission that Stellaland as a British Protectorate, governed by the constitution of the Republic of Stellaland, never ceased to exist for no law or statute can be found ending its existence. 6. We draw your attention to the fact that the Republic of Stellaland could not be annexed into the Union of South Africa by the British government as it was/is a British Protectorate subjected to the same protection measures valid for Lesotho, Swaziland and Botswana. Untill such time as this dispute is settled, Front National as facilitating body will be handling all affairs of state of the Stellaland Republic. In this same capacity we also serve as the Representing Council for Sports and Culture of the Republic of Stellaland. In light of this information, we wish to apply for registration as affiliate with your organization.
