Smuts' administration

The section Reports begins with,

"The Indian Opinion began by adopting a very moderate tone, reiterating its faith in common law and seeking not to provoke the hostility of the officials in Smuts's administration."

This does not make sense. The newspaper was launched in 1903. The year before, 1902, the Boers under the leadership of Jan Smuts had been defeated in the Second Boer War and the Transvaal had become a British colony, administered by Milner's Kindergarten, from which the Afrikaner Smuts was excluded. It is doubtful that the Smuts administration would even have allowed the newspaper to be launched. --Lambiam 12:56, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
