GochGeorgeHe was in Kimberley in the early seventies, and came prominently before the public in connection with the Black Flag incident. In 1878, when the new municipality of Kimberley came into existence, he was invited to become one of its representatives. Shortly afterwards the much-debated question of the annexation of Griqualand West to the Cape Colony arose. Mr Goch was a strenuous supporter of the annexation, which was only accomplished in 1S83. In 1884 the General Election resulted in his return as second member for Kimberley. Retiring from the Municipal Council in 1885, he assisted in the formulation of a railway construction and extension policy, for which the support of the Government and the eventual sanction of Parliament were obtained, with the result that Kimberley was connected by rail with Cape Town. His next effort was directed to securing some understanding with the Transvaal and Orange Free State Governments with regard to Inter-Colonial Free Trade. His object was to establish common ground with the Boers on railway matters and to simplify the vexed railway question. Unfortunately the Cape Parliament of the day did not share Mr Goch's views. The Lands and Stands question was another problem which Mr Goch took in hand, and he succeeded in getting the law reconstructed for the benefit of shareholders in such undertakings. When the gold discoveries on the Rand were first made, Mr Goch decided to make that neighbourhood the scene of his future operations. He resigned his seat in the Cape Parliament and became a member of the newly formed Chamber of Mines. He was a reformer from the beginning; and when in a few years political questions began to arouse apprehension, he advocated the franchise being extended to all who could prove a £100 wage-earning or property qualification and a residence of two years in the country. Mr Goch was a member of the first Johannesburg Municipality, and, after acting as Deputy Mayor, was elected Mayor at the latter end of 1904, in succession to Mr St John Carr.Unknown
