South Africa -- History; South African War, 1899-1902 -- Causes
Beginning from the point where the north-eastern boundary line of
Griqualand meets the Vaal River, up the course of the Vaal River to the
point of junction with it of the Klip River; thence up the course of the
Klip River to the point of junction with it of the stream called
Gansvlei; thence up the Gansvlei stream to its source in the
Drakensberg; thence to a beacon in the boundary of Natal, situated
immediately opposite and close to the source of the Gansvlei stream;
thence in a north-easterly direction along the ridge of the Drakensberg,
dividing the waters flowing into the Gansvlei stream from the waters
flowing into the sources of the Buffalo, to a beacon on a point where
this mountain ceases to be a continuous chain; thence to a beacon on a
plain to the north-east of the last described beacon; thence to the
nearest source of a small stream called "Division Stream"; thence down
this division stream, which forms the southern boundary of the farm
Sandfontein, the property of Messrs. Meek, to its junction with the
Coldstream; thence down the Coldstream to its junction with the Buffalo
or Umzinyati River; thence down the course of the Buffalo River to the
junction with it of the Blood River; thence up the course of the Blood
River to the junction with it of Lyn Spruit or Dudusi; thence up the
Dudusi to its source; thence 80 yards to Bea. I., situated on a spur of
the N'Qaba-Ka-hawana Mountains; thence 80 yards to the N'Sonto River;
thence down the N'Sonto River to its junction with the White Umvulozi
River; thence up the White Umvulozi River to a white rock where it
rises; thence 800 yards to Kambula Hill (Bea. II.); thence to the source
of the Pemvana River, where the road from Kambula Camp to Burgers' Lager
crosses; thence down the Pemvana River to its junction with the Bivana
River; thence down the Bivana River to its junction with the Pongolo
River; thence down the Pongolo River to where it passes through the
Libombo Range; thence along the summits of the Libombo Range to the
northern point of the N'Yawos Hill in that range (Bea. XVI.); thence to
the northern peak of the Inkwakweni Hills (Bea. XV.); thence to Sefunda,
a rocky knoll detached from and to the north-east end of the White
Koppies, and to the south of the Musana River (Bea. XIV.); thence to a
point on the slope near the crest of Matanjeni, which is the name given
to the south-eastern portion of the Mahamba Hills (Bea. XIII.); thence
to the N'gwangwana, a double-pointed hill (one point is bare, the other
wooded, the beacon being on the former) on the left bank of the Assegai
River and upstream of the Dadusa Spruit (Bea. XII.); thence to the
southern point of Bendita, a rocky knoll in a plain between the Little
Hlozane and Assegaai Rivers (Bea. XI.); thence to the highest point of
Suluka Hill, round the eastern slopes of which flows the Little Hlozane,
also called Ludaka or Mudspruit (Bea. X.); thence to the beacon known as
