By means of a working framework of mobility, law and citizenship, three significant moments in the structuring of South African citizenship between 1897 and 1937 were identified. In the first moment, elites drafted a series of provincial comprehensive immigration laws before joining together in the Union. These laws responded to the Asian migration of the time and culminated in the Transvaal migration regime of 1907. In the second moment lasting until 1927, the Transvaal immigration and Asiatic affairs bureaucracy extended its influence across the incipient South African territory through the drafting and administration of the Union immigration law as well as through increasing national control of the Asian population. By contrast with the Native Affairs Department which largely retreated from its putative role in the regulation of migration except in respect of large-scale recruitment, the Department of the Interior played a strong role in the regulation of Asian affairs and immigration. In the third moment, the establishment of the office of the Commissioner for Immigration and Asiatic Affairs began a process that consolidated and extended control as well as nationality over the South African population, including the resident Asian and African populations.

520 # $a By means of a working framework of mobility, law and citizenship, three significant moments in the structuring of South African citizenship between 1897 and 1937 were identified.

520 # $a I argue that the contest over the legitimate mobility of persons was a significant if not the primary factor in constructing South African citizenship between 1897 and 1937.
520 # $a This study demonstrates the effect of mobility on the legal and cultural aspects of South African citizenship. Both the interests of economic actors in restricting the mobility of labor and the interest of political elites in establishing and safeguarding political status and identities within their communities motivated and influenced the regulation of mobility and thereby the development of the South African concept of citizenship. Furthermore, the operation of official bureaucracies in administering the mobility of their respective populations influenced this citizenship. Finally, the legal, colonial, and demographic position of the Asian population proved particularly crucial to the development of South African citizenship.
