History
A magistrate’s court was established at Kuruman in British Bechuanaland on 8 September 1887 (D Ward: British Bechuanaland Proclamations, 1885 – 1893, Proclamation No 39 BB dated 8 September 1887, pp 69 – 71). The territory of British Bechuanaland was annexed to the Cape Colony on 16 November 1895 (Government Gazette No 7762 dated 12 November 1895, Proclamations Nos 457 – 458, dated 11 November 1895).
The Magistrate of Kuruman was also appointed Native Commissioner on 1 October 1928 (Government Gazette No 1734 dated 26 October 1928, Government Notice No 1865 dated 26 October 1928). On 9 March 1955 the Native Commissioner received criminal jurisdiction in respect of any offence committed by a Native within the area of jurisdiction (Government Gazette No 5437 dated 25 March 1955, Proclamation No 78 dated 9 March 1955).
