Networks, Institutions and the Failure of the Survey Law of 1874 in the Transvaal
This article concerns the birth and death of the proposed Survey Law of 1874 in the South African Republic (Transvaal), a law that promised to ‘correct’ flawed or fraudulent knowledge with an ongoing triangulation and a general survey of lands that would locate and map all aspects of geography for the state. Such knowledge was essential to the rising class of technocrats that had taken over government bureaus in Pretoria in 1872 and who sought to…

From the 1850s onward, the area was a target for such efforts, which centred on the survey and titling of finite parcels to individu…

The Returns of the King
In histories of the South African Highveld, the persistence of extra-colonial authority after the South African War (1899–1902) often appears as a vestigial remnant, and even more so when the kings and chiefs in question were deposed by the Boers or the British.
