dbo:abstract
  • Kaffraria war ein zur britischen Kapkolonie gehörendes Gebiet zwischen Britisch-Kaffraria, den Distrikten Queenstown und Wodehouse, Basutoland, der Kolonie Natal und dem Indischen Ozean. Kaffraria umfasste die Distrikte Transkei, Tembuland, Griqualand East und das Pondoland. Das Gebiet umfasste 18.310 Quadratmeilen (47.422 km²) mit (1904) 834.644 Einwohnern, davon 16.777 Weiße. Das Land wird im Nordwesten von den Storm- und Drakensbergen begrenzt, von denen mehrere Flüsse (Great Kei River, (heute Mthatha), St. Johns River (heute Mzimvubu), (heute Mbhashe)) dem Meer zuströmen. Kaffraria wurde schon vor der Eingliederung in die Kapkolonie (1875–1894) durch britische Kommissare verwaltet. Die Church of England war zu dieser Zeit in diesem Gebiet mit Missionaren zusammen mit der Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (SPG) tätig. (de)
  • Kaffraria was the descriptive name given to the southeast part of what is today the Eastern Cape of South Africa. Kaffraria, i.e. the land of the Kaffirs, is no longer an official designation (with the term kaffir now an offensive racial slur in South Africa). The districts now known as King Williams Town and East London were annexed by the British early on, and were thus known as British Kaffraria (later annexed to Cape Colony in 1865). All of the remaining Xhosa territory beyond the Kei River, south of the Drakensberg Mountains and as far as the Natal frontier, remained independent for longer and was known as Kaffraria proper. As a geographical term it was later used to indicate the Transkeian territories of the Cape provinces comprising the four administrative divisions of Transkei, Pondoland, Tembuland and Griqualand East, incorporated into Cape Colony at various periods between 1879 and 1894. They had a total area of 18,310 km²., and a population (1904) of 834,644, of whom 16,777 were whites. Excluding Pondoland — not counted prior to 1904 — the population had increased from 487,364 in 1891 to 631,887 in 1904. (en)
