A referendum on becoming a republic was held in South Africa on 5 October 1960. The Afrikaner-dominated right-wing National Party, which had come to power in 1948, was avowedly republican, and regarded the position of Queen Elizabeth II as head of state as a relic of British imperialism. The National Party government subsequently organised the referendum on whether the then Union of South Africa should become a republic. The vote, which was restricted to whites – the first such national election in the union – was narrowly approved by 52.29% of the voters. The Republic of South Africa was constituted on 31 May 1961.

Die Abstimmung betraf die Frage, ob die Südafrikanische Union ihren Status als britisches Dominion beendet und in einen eigenständigen Staat mit der konstitutionellen Form einer Republik umgewandelt werden solle. Die mehrheitliche Zustimmung bewirkte den Austritt des Landes aus dem Commonwealth of Nations (Wiedereintritt 1994). Die legislative Handlungsgrundlage zur Abstimmung bildete der Referendum Act (Act No. 52 / 1960). (de) A referendum on becoming a republic was held in South Africa on 5 October 1960.
