		A revised form of this Constitution was promulgated on the 31st of January 1872 at Rehoboth and it was again renewed and amended on the first of January 1874.
		But a majority of the Rehoboth Basters rejected the Agreement because "it limited their rights to self-determination and it failed to restore rights to land filched under German regime." Finally, this opposition led to an open rebellion in 1925 and the formation of an oppositional "Nuwe Raad" (New Council).
		Local self-government of the Rehoboth Baster community was partly restored with the Proclamation 9 of 1928, whereby an "Advisory Council" was introduced.

		Other officials in Rehoboth dealing with land matters, who were responsible for land records of the type which would normally be linked into a multipurpose cadastre, indicated that they too valued the information which they obtained from the registry staff.

		When the Cape government decreed that all settlers in marginal areas would be obliged to prove title to the land which they occupied or get out, they continued their trek northwards to an area with a hot-water spring called Rehoboth.
		Rehoboth was at that stage occupied by one of the Nama tribes, but because of the Basters supported the Germans during the early 1900 uprisings, the Germans rewarded them by allowing them to retain the land.
		They are extremely proud of heritage due to their unique history and registered out of free will, to be named Rehoboth Basters.
