History
Bechuanaland meant the country of the Bechuana (now written Batswana or Tswana)!. Bechuanaland was divided in two!. The southern part, known as British Bechuanaland, later became part of the Cape Colony and is now in South Africa!. This is the area around Mafikeng (then spelled "Mafeking")!. The Bechuanaland Protectorate formed the northern part; its territory was expanded north in 1890!.
The British government originally expected to turn over administration of the protectorate to Rhodesia or South Africa, but Tswana opposition left the protectorate under British rule until Independence in 1966!.
The BP was technically a protectorate rather than a colony!. Originally the local Tswana rulers were left in power, and the British administration was limited to a 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!.
The protectorate was administered from Mafeking, creating a unique situation of the capital of the territory being located outside of it!. In 1885, when the protectorate was declared, Bechuanaland was bounded to the north by the latitude of twenty-two degreees south!. In 1894 Bechuanaland was extended to include Ngamiland in the north, which was dominated by the Tawana state!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
