Native Administration Proclamation, 1928

Proclamation 15 of 1928

  1. [Amended by Native Administration Amendment Proclamation, 1937 (Proclamation 25 of 1937) on 15 July 1937]
  2. [Amended by Native Administration Amendment Proclamation, 1973 (Proclamation 41 of 1973) on 16 February 1973]
  3. [Amended by Native Administration Proclamation Amendment Act, 1985 (Act 27 of 1985) on 18 December 1985]
  4. [Amended by First Law Amendment (Abolition of Discriminatory or Restrictive Laws for purposes of Free and Fair Election) Proclamation, 1989 (Proclamation AG14 of 1989) on 8 June 1989]
  5. [Amended by Local Authorities Act, 1992 (Act 23 of 1992) on 31 August 1992]
  6. [Amended by Traditional Authorities Act, 1995 (Act 17 of 1995) on 26 September 1995]
  7. [Amended by Estates and Succession Amendment Act, 2005 (Act 15 of 2005) on 29 December 2005]
[The Proclamation, with the exception of Chapter IV on Marriage and Succession (sections 17-18), was brought into force in all of South West Africa on 1 January 1930 by GN 165/1929 (OG 350).
Selected portions of Chapter IV – section 17(6) and sections 18(3) and (9) – were subsequently brought into force with retroactive effect from 1 August 1950 by GN 67/1954 (OG 1818) “in that portion of the territory north of the Police Zone, as defined in the First Schedule to the Prohibited Areas Proclamation, 1928 (Proclamation 26 of 1928), as amended from time to time”.
The First Schedule of the Prohibited Areas Proclamation 26 of 1928 (OG 296) was substituted by GN 222/1961 (OG 2334) and amended by GN 165/1962 (OG 2425). Because of the importance of determining the extent of the Police Zone in order to clarify the applicable area of this Proclamation, the First Schedule to Proclamation 26 of 1928 is appended to this Proclamation, with the amendments to the Schedule incorporated.
The whole of section 18 was made applicable to the whole of South West Africa with the exception of “the areas referred to in paragraphs (d), (e) and (f) of section 2(1) of the Development of Self-government for Native Nations in South-West Africa Act, 1968 (Act 54 of 1968)” by RSA Proclamation R.192/1974 (RSA GG 4164), effective from the date of publication: 15 February 1974. The paragraphs referred to in the Development of Self-government for Native Nations in South-West Africa Act 54 of 1968, as substituted by Act 20 of 1973 prior to the issue of the relevant Proclamation, stood as follows:
“(d) Kavango, consisting of Area 1 defined in Schedule D to Government Notice No. 2428 of 1972;
(e) Eastern Caprivi, consisting of the area defined in the Schedule to Government Notice No. 2429 of 1972;
(f) Owambo, consisting of the area defined in Schedule C to Government Notice No. 2428 of 1972”.
The overall result is as follows:
* section 17(6) applies north of the Police Zone with effect from 1 August 1950, but section 17 is not otherwise applicable anywhere in Namibia;
* section 18(3) and (9) apply north of the Police Zone with effect from 1 August 1950, and the whole of section 18 applies everywhere in Namibia other than Kavango, Eastern Kavango and Caprivi with effect from 15 February 1974;
* sections 23-27 apply everywhere in Namibia with effect from 1 January 1930.
The Native Administration Proclamation Amendment Act 27 of 1985 (OG 5147) repealed sections 7-16 and sections 19-22 of this Proclamation.
The Traditional Authorities Act 17 of 1995 (GG 1158) repealed all remaining sections of the Proclamation with the exception of sections 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27.
The Native Administration Proclamation Amendment Act 27 of 1985 (OG 5147) repealed sections 18(3)-(8) and (9)(c).
The Estates and Succession Amendment Act 15 of 2005 (GG 3566) repealed the remaining portions of section 18, but provides in section 1(2) that “the rules of intestate succession that applied by virtue of those provisions before the date of their repeal continue to be of force in relation to persons to whom the relevant rules would have been applicable had the said provisions not been repealed”.]PROCLAMATION
BY HIS HONOUR ALBERTUS JOHANNES WERTH, ADMINISTRATOR OF SOUTH WEST AFRICA[This Proclamation has no long title. The date of signature appears at the bottom of the Proclamation.

Chapter IV
MARRIAGE AND SUCCESSION

17. Marriages of natives: Property rights

(1)No male Native shall, during the subsistence of any customary union between him and any woman, contract a marriage with any other woman unless he had first declared upon oath, before the magistrate of the district in which he is domiciled, the name of every such firstmentioned woman, the name of every child of any such customary union, the nature and amount of the movable property (if any) allotted by him to each such woman or house under native custom, and such other information relating to any such union as the said official may require.
(2)Upon the official before whom such declaration is made being satisfied of the accuracy thereof, it shall be recorded by him, and such original record of the declaration, or a copy thereof certified under the hand of any magistrate of the district in which it was recorded, shall be admissible in evidence in any proceedings in which the facts therein declared may be relevant, and any document purporting to be such a record, or a copy thereof certified as aforesaid, shall prima facie be so admissible without proof of its execution.
(3)No minister of the Christian religion authorised under any law to solemnize marriages, nor any marriage officer, shall solemnize the marriage of any Native male person unless he has first taken from such a person a declaration as to whether there is subsisting at the time any customary union between such person and any woman other than the woman to whom he is to be married and, in the event of any such union subsisting, unless there is produced to him by such person a certificate under the hand of a magistrate that the provisions of this section hereinbefore set out have been duly complied with.
(4)Any person contravening sub-section (3) shall be guilty of an offence, and shall, upon conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding twenty-five pounds, or, in default of payment, to imprisonment for a period not exceeding three months.[A fine not exceeding twenty-five pounds is equivalent to a fine not exceeding N$50.]
(5)Any Native male person who during the subsistence of any customary union between him and any woman contracts a marriage with any other woman without having previously made a declaration referred to in sub-section (1) or sub-section (3) shall be guilty of an offence and shall, upon conviction, be liable to a fine not exceeding fifty pounds or, in default of payment, to imprisonment for a period not exceeding six months; and any Native male person who knowingly makes any false statement in any such declaration shall be guilty of an offence and punishable in same manner as if he had committed the crime of perjury.[A fine not exceeding fifty pounds is equivalent to a fine not exceeding N$100.]
(6)A marriage between Natives, contracted after the commencement of this Proclamation, shall not produce the legal consequences of marriage in community of property between the spouses: Provided that in the case of a marriage contracted otherwise than during the subsistence of a customary union between the husband and any woman other than the wife it shall be competent for the intending spouses at any time within one month previous to the celebration of such marriage to declare jointly before any magistrate, marriage officer (who is hereby authorised to attest such declaration) that it is their intention and desire that community of property and of profit and loss shall result from their marriage, and thereupon such community shall result from their marriage.[The word “or” should appear in place of the comma between “magistrate” and “marriage officer”.]
(7)No marriage contracted after the commencement of this Proclamation during the subsistence of any customary union between the husband and any woman other than the wife shall in any way affect the material rights of any partner of such union or any issue thereof, and the widow of any such marriage and any issue thereof shall have no greater rights in respect of the estate of the deceased spouse than she or they would have had if the said marriage had been a customary union.
(8)Nothing in this section or in section eighteen shall affect any legal right which had accrued or may accrue as the result of a marriage in community of property contracted before the commencement of this Proclamation.[section 17 amended by Act 27 of 1985]

18. Succession

(1)All movable property belonging to a Native and allotted by him or accruing under native law or custom to any woman with whom he lived in a customary union, or to any house, shall upon his death devolve and be administered under native law and custom.
(2)All other property of whatsoever kind belonging to a Native shall be capable of being devised by will. Any such property not so devised shall devolve and be administered according to native law and custom.
(3)[subsection (3) deleted by Act 27 of 1985]
(4)[subsection (4) repealed by Act 27 of 1985]
(5)[subsection (5) repealed by Act 27 of 1985]
(6)[subsection (6) deleted by Act 27 of 1985]
(7)[subsection (7) deleted by Act 27 of 1985]
(8)[subsection (8) deleted by Act 27 of 1985]
(9)The Administrator may make regulations not inconsistent with this Proclamation -
(a)prescribing the manner in which the estate of deceased Natives shall be administered and distributed;
(b)dealing with the disherison of natives;[“Disherison” is an archaic word for “the act of disinheriting”.]
(c)[paragraph (c) deleted by Act 27 of 1985]
(d)prescribing tables of succession in regard to Natives; and
(e)generally for the better carrying out of the provisions of this section.
(10)Any native estate which has, prior to the commencement of this Proclamation, been reported to the Secretary for South West Africa shall be administered as if this Proclamation had not been passed, and the provisions of this Proclamation shall apply in respect of every native estate which had not been so reported.[Berendt & Another v Stuurman & Others, 2003 NR 81 (HC) declared sections 18(1), (2) and (9) unconstitutional with effect from 30 June 2005. The time period for their invalidity was extended to 30 December 2005 by Government of the Republic of Namibia v The Master of the High Court & 3 Others, case no 105/2003.
The Estates and Succession Amendment Act 15 of 2005 repeals subsections (1), (2), (9) and (10) of section 18, but provides in section 1 that the rules of intestate succession that applied in terms of section 18 prior to its repeal “continue to be of force” in respect of the persons to whom they applied prior to the repeal:
1. “Repeal of section 18 of the Native Administration Proclamation, 1928 (Proclamation No. 15 of 1928)
(1) Section 18 of the Native Administration Proclamation, 1928 is amended by the repeal of subsections (1), (2), (9) and (10).
(2) Despite the repeal of the provisions referred to in subsection (1), the rules of intestate succession that applied by virtue of those provisions before the date of their repeal continue to be of force in relation to persons to whom the relevant rules would have been applicable had the said provisions not been repealed.”
Thus, the current status of these provisions is unclear. They are struck out here, rather than being deleted, to reflect this situation.
Section 3 of the Estates and Succession Amendment Act 15 of 2005 (GG 3566) also provides the following transitional provision:
3. “Application of Administration of Estates Act, 1965 and transitional provisions
(1) Subject to subsection (2), the administration of the liquidation and distribution of all deceased estates, whether testate or intestate, of persons who died on or after the date of commencement of this Act, are governed by the Administration of Estates Act, 1965 (Act No. 66 of 1965).
(2) The estate of a person who died before the date of commencement of this Act which was administered, immediately before that date, in terms of the Native Administration Proclamation, 1928 or the Administration of Estates (Rehoboth Gebiet) Proclamation, 1941, must be liquidated and distributed and any matter relating to the liquidation and distribution of such estate must be dealt with as if this Act had not been passed.
(3) Despite subsection (2), if, in the case of an estate referred to in that subsection the liquidation and distribution of which immediately before the commencement of this Act was being administered in terms of the Native Administration Proclamation, 1928 or the Administration of Estates (Rehoboth Gebiet) Proclamation, 1941 and which has not been completed by the date of such commencement, any person having an interest in the estate in writing requests the Master of the High Court to administer the estate in question in terms of the Administration of Estates Act, 1965, the Master must –
(a) in writing request the magistrate in charge of the supervision of the estate in question to transfer such estate to the Master’s supervision and control; and
(b) upon receipt of the relevant documents and information pertaining to the estate in question exercise jurisdiction in respect of the estate in terms of the Administration of Estates Act, 1965.
(4) Upon receipt of a request of the Master in terms of subsection (3)(a), the magistrate concerned must forthwith provide the Master with all documents pertaining to the estate in question which have been lodged with the magistrate or which are under his or her control as well as a written report in relation to any matter concerning the estate of which the magistrate has knowledge and which is reasonably required for assisting the Master in the performance of any function under the Administration of Estates Act, 1965 in relation to the estate.”]

The insertion is made as directed, but the alphabetical order is incorrect. The definition should appear above the definition of “customary union” and in that position should end with a semicolon rather than a full stop.]
