The United Nations and most of the world considers Lozi to be part of the Republic of South Africa, which in turn asserts Lozi's political independence. Only a number of other states afford the country recognition, including South Africa, Mozambique, and the UNITA government of Angola. Lozi is a member of the Union of South African States, which is alleged to merely be a front for South Africa's "international" relations with its homeland puppet states. Regardless of its international stance, Lozi has established a functional government and, recently in 2009, an autonomous military - the Lozi Territorial Force. Peter Mamili has been the head of state and head of government (known as the Executive Council Chairman) of Lozi since 1995, and is affiliated with the Caprivi Democratic Party (CDP

| - The United Nations and most of the world considers Lozi to be part of the Republic of South Africa, which in turn asserts Lozi's political independence. Only a number of other states afford the country recognition, including South Africa, Mozambique, and the UNITA government of Angola. Lozi is a member of the Union of South African States, which is alleged to merely be a front for South Africa's "international" relations with its homeland puppet states. Regardless of its international stance, Lozi has established a functional government and, recently in 2009, an autonomous military - the Lozi Territorial Force. Peter Mamili has been the head of state and head of government (known as the Executive Council Chairman) of Lozi since 1995, and is affiliated with the Caprivi Democratic Party (CDP), which holds most of the Executive Council seats. Being an Apartheid homeland, the Lozi people are guaranteed political power in the country by virtue of the national constitution (the Republic of Lozi Act). Only the Lozi have franchise, even though much of the population of the country is made up of Ovambos and even some Afrikaner whites. Non-Lozi people may however join the civil service and generally have the same rights and privileges as the Lozi throughout the country. Lozi does not have a legislature, and all elected representatives sit on the Executive Council. The nation does have a judicial branch consisting only of the Lozi Superior Court, whose Chief Judge is nominated by the Executive Council member responsible for justice, and confirmed by the rest of the Council.
