British Kaffaria was established as a buffer state on 17 December 1847. The area was not annexed by the Cape but was administered as a separate Crown dependency by the Governor of Cape Colony in his capacity of High Commissioner for South Africa, annexation of British Kaffaria eventually took place on 17 April 1866.
