(12.) DEED OF TRANSFER of certain Land at Umtata (Tembuland), passed by N Gangelizwe in favour of the Colonial Government. Umtata, August 1, 1882.

KNOW ALL MEN WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,

THAT N'Gangelizwe, the paramount Chief of the Tembu tribe, being at the time advised and assisted by his councillors M'bande, Msenge, and Bida, appeared before me, Arthur Henry Bell Stanford, Resident Magistrate of the District of Umtata, in the territory of Tembuland,. and declared that he had truly and legally sold, and that he did by these presents cede and transfer, in full and free property, to and on behalf of Henry George Elliot, C.M.G., Chief Magistrate of the Territory of Tembuland, he, the said Henry George Elliot, acting for and on behalf of the Government of the Cape of Good Hope, by the instructions and advice of the said Government, a certain portion of ground situate in the territory of Tembuland above said, and heretofore known as the European settlement of Umtata, the boundary lines of which extend from the Sutshaba Drift due west to the point of the ridge above the place known as Ncanda's Kraal, thence westerly to a small vley, thence in a straight line to the summit of a grassy knoll on a dividing ridge between the Cicira and Ncise streams, crossed by the waggon-road leading to the Tabase, thence along the ridge aforesaid to the point where the north-eastern branch of the Tuvee stream rises, thence down the Tuvee stream aforesaid to its junction with the Cicira River, thence up that river to the junction of the Qweqwe Stream, from thence up that stream to the point where the main waggonroad from Clarkebury and Umtata crosses it, thence along the said waggon-road to the first ravine east of the Qweqwe Mission

Station, up this ravine to the summit of a high hill overlooking the Zimbana Valley, from this hill in a straight line across to the ridge north of the Zimbana River, down this ridge to the source of the Tyumbu Stream, down this stream to its junction with the Umtata River, thence up that river to the Sutshaba Drift as aforesaid.

Wherefore, the appearer, the said NGangelizwe, alvised and assisted by his councillors as aforesaid, renouncing all the right and title he heretofore had to the premises on behalf as aforesaid, did in consequence also acknowledge to be entirely dispossessed of and disentitled to the same, and that, by virtue of these presents, the said Henry George Elliot, Chief Magistrate of the Territory of Tembuland, acting for and on behalf of the Government of the Colony of the Cape of Good Hope as aforesaid, now is and henceforth shall be entitled thereto, moreover promising to free and warrant the property thus sold and transferred, as also to clear it from all encumbrances and hypothecations according to the laws respecting the purchase and sale of landed property, save and except only that the rights and privileges now enjoyed by the Europeans residing within the boundary of the "European settlement of Umtata” as aforesaid, and to whom the appearer, the said N'Gangelizwe, as paramount Chief of the Tembu tribe, had formerly granted leave to settle, and who are at present paying to the Government of the Cape of Good Hope licences for holdings-to be respected and maintained as heretofore, and finally acknowledging to be satisfactorily paid the whole of the purchase-money, amounting to a sum of one thousand and two hundred pounds sterling (1,2007.)

In witness whereof, I, the said Arthur Henry Bell Stanford, together with the appearer, the said N Gangelizwe, advised and assisted by his councillors as aforesaid, have subscribed to these presents.

This done and executed at the office of the Resident Magistrate of Umtata, Tembuland, Cape of Good Hope, on the 1st day of the month of August in the year of Our Lord 1882.
