The 1958 South African general election held on 16 April of that year led to a victory for the National Party under the leadership of J.G. Strijdom which took 103 seats in the House of Assembly. It was the first election in South Africa with a whites-only electorate following the removal of the Cape Qualified Franchise in the late 1950s to be replaced by four (white) MPs elected to represent Coloured voters in separate constituencies.
