This book examines the formation of the Native Law Commission in 1852 in the recently established British colony of Natal, which was home to a large KAr population and a growing European settler community. The commission was tasked with resolving the complex legal and social issues surrounding the differing legal traditions of the two communities. Through an examination of the commission's meetings, the author sheds light on the challenges faced by the British in governing a diverse population, the impact of colonialism on indigenous legal systems, and the ongoing search for a balance between the rights of different groups within a colonial society. The book offers a valuable contribution to our understanding of the history of law and colonialism in southern Africa, and the broader themes of indigenous rights, sovereignty, and the nature of justice in a colonial context.
