Furthermore, many within the Army, both on the extreme far right and those wishing for total reform, turned on Botha. Ultimately, with laws against protests relaxed, huge demonstrations were staged in the capital, Port Hope, and across the country. Realising the threat of a revolution, Botha ordered the Hope Province Provincial Guard to crush the demonstrators in Port Hope; the Provincial Guard disobeyed his orders, and led by [[Johannes Klopper]] (and backed by the Satavian admiralty) they entered the city, [[1976 Satavian coup d'état|staging a coup d'état that would remove Botha from power]].}} | | ! style="background:black; color:white;" |1 |
