John Gilbert Kotze
Published by Maskew Miller Limited, 1940
At twenty-seven, John Gilbert Kotze (1849-1940) became, with Shepstone's confirmation of his appointment as chief justice of the Transvaal, "the youngest man to have been appointed a judge in any British territory. Anthony Trollope . who was visiting South Africa at that time, referred to him as 'a boy judge' in his book South Africa (1878)." (DSAB I, p. 439) "These memoirs, written by the late Sir John Kotze, are a continuation of those contained in the volume published during his lifetime in the year 1934. That volume gave an account of his life up to the Convention of 1881 and the retrocession of Transvaal following upon the first Anglo-Boer War. The present volume carries the story to January, 1896, and deals with the main events in the history of the Transvaal during these fifteen years. The twenty years (1877-1897) during which Kotze was on the Transvaal Bench embrace a most interesting period of the history of South Africa and one which, in the Transvaal, was both formative and highly controversial.".
