that this is possible.<br>
<br>
I was once told about a certain book called the Government
"Blue" or "Red" book which was the documentation about all the
apartheid era land transactions - how many whites, blacks,
Indians moved / relocated / forced etc.. etc.. - property
descriptions, notice numbers etc.. etc... - now, while of a
different era 1950's 1960's it will have the areas prior to that
1913 - it will either expand the 1913 areas or abolish them. -
so it would be possible to work backwards from this book.<br>
<br>
The problem is, my source was aware of only 3 such books being
in existence - two have already been lost apparently. I have not
had the time to track down the last copy. But I will give this
information to Aslam who may have better contacts than me in
getting a copy of it.<br>

Hi Aslam ,
Have you had a look at the the Report of the Tomlinson Commission ? ( all
the many volumes and maps )
I am very sure that there must have been a spatial component to the 1913
Act -- I would also think that this would have been the responsibility of
the SG ? ( Definitely some Gov department )
There is some info for Natal but this would not be the whole country.
"The Native Reserves in Natal ( Natal Regional Survey Vol V11 ) Edgar H
Brookes and N Hurwitz University of Natal
Have you had a look at "Disputed Land" ( the book )
Did you attend the land conference at UCT ?
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.landdivided2013.org.za">http://www.landdivided2013.org.za</a>
Lots of papers presented but I do not see anythung that would excite a
land surveyor or a GIS practioner. It would appear that historians /
social scientists know nothing about spatial and surveyors know nothing
about history ?
The whole thing looks just like a talk shop -- something academics are
famous for. How can you analyze something if you have not quantified it ?
Perhaps mail Aninka Claassens
or
Prof Johann Kirsten at Pretoria University Ag Econ department -
Johann is a grandson of Prof Tomlinson.
WHERE are the Spatial experts -- Historical Geographers ?
Still -- when I see the Ford Foundation and Konrad Adenauer together I am
not expecting anything more than a bound report and conclusions that
favour certain political themes !
Please let me know if you do manage to track down the full spatial
complement to the 1913 Land Act.
Perhaps ask Linda ........

<pre wrap="">I know this is a long shot, but is there anyone who has data on the
location of Native Reserves as proclaimed in the 1913 Land Act and
subsequent amendment. The TVBC states is a relatively recent artifact of
the Apartheid Government land engineering project, for which I have
information. I also have maps showing the location of Native Reserves in
the 1960's. I am looking for maps older than this.
