There is a map of divisions in 1989 (not sure when the boundaries changed, but think they were at least the same in ‘87) available online, but unfortunately I am not allowed to post the link until I have posted 20 times - happy to message it to someone so they can post it here (if the site will let me do that …)

I have a cleaned up version, but don’t know how to post images here.

There is clearly a bit of a problem with the boundaries as shown in the Witwatersrand / surrounds, notably with Losberg and Germiston District.

There are a couple of other little errors in the original map which you have copied across:
Roodepoort (western Witwatersrand) should be Conservative not National (in 1987 too)
Uitenhage (Eastern Cape, next to PE) should be Conservative not Democratic

Also Fauresmith (western OFS) did go National in the re-run election, but in the original general election it was actually a tie between the National and Conservative candidates.
