Everything about Griqualand East totally explained
Griqualand East (also called
East Griqualand) is a territory (20,000 sq. km) that now forms part of the
KwaZulu-Natal province of
South Africa, south of the
Umzimvubu River, around
Kokstad. It takes its name from a group of
Griqua people settled there under the leadership of
Adam Kok III.
History
In
1874 Griqualand East was annexed by the
Cape Colony, and when the
Union of South Africa was formed in
1910 it continued to be part of the
Cape Province. In
1976, however, the
Transkei Bantustan was given "independence", thus removing it from the Cape Province, and Griqualand East became an
exclave, separated from the rest of the Cape Province. It was therefore made part of
Natal Province a few years later, and so forms part of KwaZulu-Natal today.
