Шаблон:Infobox legislature Шаблон:Apartheid The House of Representatives (Шаблон:Lang-af) was an 80-seat body in the Tricameral Parliament of South Africa which existed from 1984-1994. It was reserved for Coloured South Africans. The body was elected twice; in 1984 and 1989. Electoral turnouts for the House of Representatives were poor.[1]

The House of Representatives met in the former Senate chamber in the Houses of Parliament, Cape Town. [2] The executive arm of the House of Representatives was a Ministers' Council, led by a Chairman. The civil service that dealt with Coloured "own affairs" (including education, health and welfare, local government, housing and agriculture) was called the Administration: House of Representatives, and was based in Cape Town.[3][4]
