1919, Translation of S.W. Af. Mining Law from German
Translation of the mining law of South West Africa; Together with amendments thereto as published in Proclamation 24 of 1919: n.a., 29p., Issued
under the authority of the Administrator, n.p., n.d. (South West Africa became a German colony starting in 1884; being known as Sudwestafrika. However,
the German government had great difficulty in controlling the indigenous peoples and, resorted to harsh measures, including the use of concentration
camps for the inhabitants, that brought down world condemnation. During World War I England’s ally South Africa seized the territory, and following the
war it was awarded a League of Nations Mandate. This translation of German mining law, stemming from an Imperial Ordinance of 1906, was issued by the
Mandate Administrator for the convenience of the English-speaking prospectors and miners; although it does stipulate that, in the event of divergencies
or ambiguities, the original German text, where not amended by the South African authorities, was to be determinative. South West Africa should have
been turned over to the United Nations after World War II for processing toward independence, but South Africa refused and maintained the territory
under its sovereignty by force until 1990, when it secured independence as Namibia.)
