I changed Tswana to Tawana in one place in the text. Tawana is not a typo of Tswana, the Tawana were a subgroup of the Tswana in northern Botswana. —Preceding

Is the Samuel Edwards to which the current link is made the same Samuel Edwards referred to in the article? It seems unlikely that a US politician was working for Cecil Rhodes in Matebeleland, and that these people just share the same name.
Also the article, and several web pages on the Tati Concessions names someone called John Swinburne as the original dealmaker, not Samuel Edwards, and the original article on Tati Concessions also incorrectly linked this Robert Swinburne to a Scottish politician.
Does the Crown Colony of Bechuanaland merit it's own article or not? I mostly mention this because of ambiquity - at some point, the Crown Colony and the Protectorate were two seperate entities, right? —

Nosob river border
The Nosob river forms part of the border between current-day South Africa and Botswana. By the time of the creation of the
Union of South Africa in 1910 by the
South Africa Act 1909, maps indicate that this border was already established, it seems. Therefore the area between the Nosob and Molopo rivers, and
German South West Africa must have been transferred to the
Cape Colony sometime before that, but in the 1885 map, it's still shown as part of the Protectorate. Does anyone have further information (date and reason, perhaps) for this? —
