This study investigates the surrender of the conventional forces of the Orange
Free State (OFS) to the British forces on the 30th July 1900. The surrender
might signify the end of the existence of the OFS as a state, and implied that
the British forces had successfully conquered the OFS. The study provides a
legal historical perspective on the events that led to the surrender, the
surrender itself and its consequences. The study further explores allegations
of high treason, as well as other crimes committed, and allegations of illegal
acts with regard to the surrender.
