# Godfrey Lagden

> Sir Godfrey Yeatman Lagden KCMG KBE was a British colonial administrator in southern Africa. He served as Resident Commissioner of Basutoland (1893-1901) and, under Lord Milner, as Commissioner of Native Affairs for the Transvaal Colony from 1901. He is best known as chairman of the South Africa Native Affairs Commission (SANAC) of 1903-1905, whose report is widely regarded by historians as a foundational blueprint for the territorial racial segregation later entrenched in South Africa, and a precursor to the Natives' Land Act, 1913, the Natives Act, 1923 and, ultimately, the Group Areas Act of 1950.
