Abstract
The historic land of the Schmidtsdrift community lies along
the banks of the Vaal River in the Northern Cape province,
along the R300 road to Griquastad, approximately 71 km
west from Kimberley and 53 km north-east from Douglas.
The area is now under the jurisdiction of the Siyancuma Local
Municipality and the Pixley ka Seme District Municipality.
The Schmidtsdrift Restitution Claim was first lodged with
the Advisory Commission of Land Rights (ACLA) in 1992
by the Batlhaping community consisting of approximately
800 claimant households. The claim was subsequently
taken over by the Commission on Restitution of Land
Rights (CRLR), which also received competing claims on the
same land from the Kleinfonteintjie community, the Griqua
community and the !Xhu and Khwe! San community.
