Former Bantustan of South Africa now part of Eastern Cape Province (8)

I believe the answer is:

transkei

(Other definitions for transkei that I've seen before include "former homeland" , "part of Eastern Cape" , "somewhere in old Africa" , "Old apartheid state" , "Homeland for South Africans no longer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
