SivewrightJamesBorn at Fochabers, Elginshire, in Dec, 1848. He entered Aberdeen University in 1862 as a Bursar, and graduated MA in 1866. He adopted telegraphic engineering as a profession, and after passing first in the competitive examination of 1869 for the Indian Telegraph Service, he was appointed upon the acquisition of the British Telegraphs by the State a Superintending Engineer of the Southern Division of England in 1870. He was Secretary, to the Society of Telegraph Engineers, and was appointed gen. Manager of South African Telegraphs in 1877, from which he retired on a pension in 1885. He received the CMG on the conclusion of the Zulu War, and also earned the Zulu Medal with clasp for the three years 1877-78-79. After a short rest in England he returned to the Cape, and entered the political arena in 1888 as first member for Griqualand E, defeating Mr Zietsman by a large majority. On July 17, 1860, Sir James joined the first Rhodes Ministry without portfolio, but subsequently (Sep 1890) was appointed Commissioner of Crown Lands and Public Works and energetically supported his chief in the extension of the Cape railway and telegraphic systems northwards. His negotiation with the Transvaal Executive for the construction of the Bloemfontein-Johannesburg-Pretoria section railway was considered a diplomatic achievement of no slight merit. He received the KCMG on completion of railway communication with the Transvaal. Sir James went out of office in the disruption of 1893, but immediately after the Jameson raid was prevailed upon to return as Commissioner of Public Works in the Sprigg Ministry of 1896. He was one of the founders of the Johannesburg Waterworks Company; was largely responsible for the reduction of the SA cable rates, in worked hard for a high level of efficiency in departmental affairs, as well as in all business undertakings with which he has been connected. He was the pioneer of Cold Storage in the Cape and having decided to remain in his British home is devoting his energies to the development of the coal and iron measures of the East of Scotland. Sir James married, in 1880 Jennie, daughter of George Page, of Bloemfontein.Unknown
