History
On 1 October 1878 a magistrate’s court was established at Tsomo in the Transkeian Territories (PJ Venter: Government Departments of the Cape of Good Hope, 1806 – 1910, p 295). Tsomo, as part of Fingoland, was annexed to the Cape Colony on 1 October 1879 (Government Gazette No 5950, dated 16 September 1879, Proclamation No 110, dated 15 September 1879). 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).
The Magistrate of Tsomo 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). The designation was later changed to Bantu Affairs Commissioner.
