Short Answer

Solution

South Africa was forced to leave the Commonwealth in 1961. This happened due to growing international criticism of its apartheid policies. When South Africa applied to remain in the Commonwealth as a republic, several member countries opposed it because of its racial segregation and discrimination. As a result, South Africa withdrew voluntarily before it could be expelled.
