Natal Covenant
The Ulster Covenant was used as a template for the 'Natal Covenant', signed in 1955 by 33,000 British-descended Natalians against the nationalist South African government's intention of declaring the Union a republic. It was signed in Durban City Hall – itself loosely based on Belfast's, so that the Ulster scene was almost exactly reproduced.
