Comments

Why "Cape" instead of "Cape Colony" in the first section's first sentence?
...they met certain criteria One or two examples, or adjectives?
... to Africans... Do you refer to Black Africans? I think the term "African" should be defined in the article's context to avoid midunderstanding ("Black citizens/inhabitants/... of the region, collectivelly called as Africans in the period", or something similar.)

...the Cape Parliament voluntarily extended voting rights to Africans in the Transkei Some context? ("in the newly annexed/conquered/.. Transkei"). Introduce Transkei as a region/state/town/.... Is "voluntarily" necessary? If yes, what does it mean? (Without British demand?)
In 1892, the qualifications for voting were made more stringent by Cecil Rhodes. By him alone? How could he make qualifications for voting more stringent?
...they disproportionately affected Africans Why? Do you mean Black Africans?
...the African vote... Do you mean Black African?
... in electing Leander Starr Jameson... As president or MP? Introduce him to help us to better understand why Black people voted for him.
...European voters... European?
Shortly introduce the South African Native Affairs Commission.
I think the term "Cape Franchise" should be named in the first sentence which introduces it without mentioning it.
...disenfranchisement of Africans... Africans of any race/skin colour?
Upon the establishment of the Union of South Africa in 1910, nationwide extension of the multi-racial franchise was not implemented, leaving most Africans, excluding the small number of eligible voters in the Cape Province, disenfranchised. I would follow chronology and place this before the previous sentence. Most Africans of any race/skin colour?
...disregarded African political organizations... African of any race/skin colour?
... the treatment of Africans... Africans of any race/skin colour?
...lack of African representation... African of any race/skin colour?
...inadequate African representation... African of any race/skin colour?
Delink Transkei when it is mentioned for the second time.
I would write "Natives Representative Council (NRC)" when the NRC is first mentioned in the main text.
...where Africans from all regions... Africans of any race/skin colour?
... rural Africans...urban Africans ... Africans of any race/skin colour?
...solely of African members... African of any race/skin colour?
Why "white officials" instead of "White officials", "white domination" instead of "White domination", "all-white" instead of "all-White", "white civilization" instead of "White civilization", "white candidates" instead of "White candidates", "white representatives" instead of "White representatives"?
... in the policy of segregation... I would write "ratial/ethnic segregation".
Delink Cape Franchise when it mentioned for the second, third, etc time.
Delink and shorten African National Congress when it is mentioned for the second time.
...Africans seemed to be satisfied... Africans of any race/skin colour?
...nationwide African council... African of any race/skin colour?
...among Africans... Africans of any race/skin colour?
Delink Hertzog when he is mentioned for the second, third, etc times.
...the opinion of African citizens... African of any race/skin colour?
..an African council... African of any race/skin colour?
...the African intelligentsia... African of any race/skin colour of any race/skin colour?
