| | | | | Coloured: Encyclopedia II - Johannesburg - Transport Johannesburg, much like Los Angeles, is a young and sprawling city geared towards private motorists, and lacks a convenient public transportation system. However, as many of Johannesburg's residents are comparatively poor when compared to those of Los Angeles, a significant number are unable to afford their own cars and are dependent on the city's informal minibus taxis.
Mass transit

The majority of the plants are evergreen hard-leaf plants with fine, needle-like leaves, such as the sclerophyllous. Another particularly South African plant is the protea, which is a genus of blooming plants. There are ...

| | | | | Coloured: Encyclopedia II - South Africa - Provinces When apartheid ended in 1994, the South African government had to integrate the formerly independent and semi-independent Bantustans into the political structure of South Africa.

The new provinces are usually much smaller than the former provinces, which theoretically is in order to ...

| | | | | Coloured: Encyclopedia II - Tricameralism - Bolivar's tricameralism Simón Bolívar, the South American revolutionary leader, included a tricameral legislature as part of his proposals for a model government. Bolivar described the three houses as follows:

| | | | | Coloured: Encyclopedia II - Tricameralism - French tricameralism Some historians view the French States-General as an example of a tricameral legislature. The States-General evolved gradually over time, and provided advice on various matters (including legislative issues) to the King. The three Estates were the simply labeled First (consisting of clergy), Second (consisting of nobility), and Third (consisting of commoners).
