Bechuanaland Protectorate The  Bechuanaland Protectorate   ( /ˌ b ɛ tʃ u ˈ ɑː n ə l æ n d / ) was a  protectorate   established on 31 March 1885, by the  United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland   in  Southern Africa . It became the  Republic of Botswana   on 30 September 1966. [2] History [ edit ]

Scottish missionary  John Mackenzie   (1835–1899), a Congregationalist of the London Missionary Society (LMS), who lived at  Shoshong   from 1862–1876, "believed that the BamaNgwato and other African peoples with whom he worked were threatened by  Boer   freebooters   encroaching on their territory from the south". He campaigned for the establishment of what became the Bechuanaland Protectorate, to be ruled directly from Britain.

Austral Africa: Losing It or Ruling It   is Mackenzie's account of events leading to the establishment of the protectorate. Influenced by Mackenzie, in January 1885 the  British cabinet   decided to send a  military expedition to South Africa   to assert British  sovereignty   over the contested territory. Sir  Charles Warren   (1840–1927) led a force of 4,000 imperial troops north from  Cape Town . After making treaties with several African chiefs, Warren announced the establishment of the protectorate in March 1885.[3]   In September that year the Tswana country south of the Molopo River was proclaimed the Crown colony of  British Bechuanaland . Mackenzie accompanied Warren, and  Austral Africa   contains a detailed account of the expedition.  [4]

Bechuanaland meant the "country of the  Tswana " (from an archaic form of  Batswana   plus  -land ) and for administrative purposes was divided into two political entities. The northern part was administered as the Bechuanaland Protectorate and the southern part was administered as the  crown colony   of  British Bechuanaland . British Bechuanaland was incorporated into the  Cape Colony   in 1895 and now forms part of South Africa.[5] [page needed ]

The northern part, the Bechuanaland Protectorate, had an area of 225,000 square miles (580,000 km2), and a population of 120,776. It comprised an area occupied by the three main Tswana peoples: the  Bamangwato , the  Bakwena   and the  Bangwaketse , together with a number of minor tribes like the  Bamalete   and the Bakhatla. Also living in the Protectorate were the descendants of the original inhabitants of the area, such as  Bushmen   and  Makalaka , who had been dispossessed by the Tswana peoples in the course of their migration south.[6]

The British government originally expected to turn over the administration of the protectorate to  Rhodesia   or South Africa, but Tswana opposition left the protectorate under British rule until its independence in 1966.

The Bechuanaland Protectorate was technically a  protectorate   rather than a colony. Originally the local Tswana rulers were left in power, and British administration was limited to the police force to protect Bechuanaland's borders against other European colonial ventures. But on 9 May 1891 the British Government gave the administration of the protectorate to the  High Commissioner for South Africa , who started to appoint officials in Bechuanaland, and the  de facto   independence of Bechuanaland ended.[7]

The protectorate was administered from  Mafeking , creating an unusual situation, the capital of the territory being located outside of the territory. The area of Mafeking (from 1980 with the incorporation into  Bophuthatswana   Mafikeng, since 2010  Mahikeng ), was called 'The Imperial Reserve'. In 1885, when the protectorate was declared, Bechuanaland was bounded to the north by the latitude of  22° south .[8]   The northern boundary of the protectorate was formally extended northward by the British to include  Ngamiland , which was then dominated by the  Tawana   state, on 30 June 1890.[9]   This claim was formally recognised by Germany the following day by Article III of the  Heligoland-Zanzibar Treaty , which confirmed the western boundary of the British protectorate of Bechuanaland and the German protectorate of  South-West Africa   and also created the  Caprivi strip   inherited by modern  Namibia :[10]

In Southwest Africa, Germany's sphere of influence is demarcated thus:

  1. To the south by the line that commences at the mouth of the  Orange River   and continues up its northern bank to its intersection point with the  20° east   longitude .
  2. To the east by the line that commences at the aforementioned point and follows the 20th degree of east longitude to its intersection point with the  22° south   latitude . The line then traces this degree of latitude eastward to its intersection with the  21° east   longitude, follows this degree of longitude northward to its intersection with the  18° south   latitude, runs along this degree of latitude eastward to its intersection with the  Chobe River . Here it descends the  thalweg   of the main channel until it meets the  Zambezi , where it ends. It is understood that under this arrangement Germany shall be granted free access from its protectorate to the Zambezi by means of a strip of land not less than twenty English miles wide at any point. Great Britain's sphere of influence is bounded to the west and northwest by the previously described line and includes  Lake Ngami .

British officials did not arrive in the Ngamiland region until 1894.[11]

The  Tati Concessions Land Act   of 21 January 1911 transferred the new eastern territory to the protectorate:

From the place where the  Shashe River   rises to its junction with the  Tati   and  Ramokgwebana Rivers , thence along the  Ramokgwebana River   to where it rises and thence along the watershed of those rivers,

This territory was originally claimed by  Matabeleland . In 1887 Samuel Edwards, working for  Cecil Rhodes , obtained a mining concession, and in 1895 the  British South Africa Company   attempted to acquire the area, but the Tswana chiefs  Bathoen I ,  Khama III   and  Sebele I   visited London to protest and were successful in fending off the BSAC. This territory forms the modern  North-East District   of Botswana.

Botswana

Botswana  (/b ɒ t ˈ s w ɑː n ə /   ( listen ) ,  also  UK :  /b ʊ t -,  b ʊ ˈ tʃ w -/ [16] ), officially the  Republic of Botswana  (Setswana :  Lefatshe la Botswana ,  [lɪˈfatsʰɪ la bʊˈtswana] ), is a  landlocked country   in  Southern Africa . Botswana is topographically flat, with up to 70 percent of its territory being the  Kalahari Desert . It is bordered by  South Africa   to the south and southeast,  Namibia   to the west and north, and  Zimbabwe   to the northeast. It is connected to  Zambia   across the short  Zambezi River   border by the  Kazungula Bridge .[17]

A country of slightly over 2.3 million people,[18]   Botswana is one of the  most sparsely populated   countries in the world. About 11.6 percent of the population lives in the capital and largest city,  Gaborone . Formerly one of the world's poorest countries—with a GDP per capita of about US$70 per year in the late 1960s—it has since transformed itself into an upper-middle-income country, with one of the world's fastest-growing economies.[19]

Modern-day humans first inhabited the country over 200,000 years ago. The  Tswana ethnic group   were descended mainly from  Bantu-speaking tribes   who migrated southward of Africa to modern Botswana around 600 AD, living in tribal enclaves as farmers and herders. In 1885, the  British   colonised the area and declared a  protectorate   under the name of  Bechuanaland . As  decolonisation occurred , Bechuanaland became an independent  Commonwealth republic   under its current name on 30 September 1966.[20]   Since then, it has been a  representative republic , with a consistent record of uninterrupted democratic  elections   and the lowest perceived corruption ranking in Africa since at least 1998.[21]

The economy is dominated by  mining , cattle, and  tourism . Botswana has a GDP (purchasing power parity ) per capita of about $18,113 as of 2021, one of the highest in Africa.[2]   Botswana is the world's biggest diamond producing country. Its relatively high  gross national income per capita   (by some estimates the fourth-largest in Africa) gives the country a relatively high  standard of living   and the highest  Human Development Index   of continental  Sub-Saharan Africa .[22]   Botswana is the first African country to host  Forbes 30 Under 30   and the  2017 Netball World Youth Cup .

Botswana is a member of the African Union , the Southern African Customs Union , the Southern African Development Community , the Commonwealth of Nations , and the United Nations . The country has been adversely affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic . Despite the success in programmes to make treatments available, and to educate the populace about how to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS, the number of people with AIDS rose from 290,000 in 2005 to 320,000 in 2013.[23] : A20   As of 2014, Botswana had the third-highest prevalence rate  for HIV/AIDS, with roughly 20% of the population infected.[24]  However, in recent years the country has made strides in combatting HIV/AIDS, with efforts being made to provide proper treatment and lower the rate of mother-to-child transmission.[25]
