Transkei Territory is a part of the Cape Colony, lying between the Great Kei River (the boundary of British Kaffraria) and the borders of Natal. Covering most of the former Kaffraria proper, it is now divided into Griqualand East, Tembuland, and Transkei in the stricter sense—the latter comprising Fingoland, the Idutwya Reserve, and Galekaland. The last independent portion, Pondoland, was annexed in 1884, but differs from the rest in having a resident commissioner appointed by the Cape government.
