The Borders entry is plain wrong when refering to the origin of the East London area as the Border region. It is far older than the Bantustans of Transkei and Ciskei, and dates back to the days when the British were pushing out of the Cape Colony eastwards along the coast when they ran into the advancing native Xhosa heading west. Hence this area was called the Border. Also called British Kaffraria (short for Kaffir Area).
