History
A Magistrate’s Court was established at Nqamakwe on 1 October 1878 (PJ Venter: Government Departments of the Cape of Good Hope 1806 – 1890, p 294).
On 26 October 1928 the Magistrate of Nqamakwe was also appointed as Native Commissioner (Government Gazette No 1734, dated 26 October 1928, Government Notice No 1865, dated 26 October 1928). The designation was later changed to Bantu Affairs Commissioner.
After the attainment of self-government by the Transkei, all records of government offices subsequent to 1 November 1963 were deposited in the Transkeian Archives Depot in Umtata (now Mthatha Archives Repository)
