Re: van Rensburg kenners Posted by: "paul_le_roux" [email protected] paul_le_roux Wed Mar 31, 2010 4:03 am (PDT) Beste Andre, Anita en andere 'n Vriend van my het onlangs vir my 'n stuk gegee oor sy gr- oupagrootjie, Willem Jacobus Naude, se herinneringe. Ek snip en spoeg die volgende gedeelte: In 1837 het my ouers met die trek net voor Retief die Vrystaat binne getrek; hulle het by Wolhuterskop, noord van Retiefsnek, in die teenswoordige distrik Betlhlehem by Retief se laer saam die Drakensberge afgetrek, Natal toe. Die aand voor my ouers se vertrek uit die distrik Graaf Reinet het hulle eers saam met die familie na die kerkhof gegaan en daar `n biduur gehou. My Vader het Retief vergesel na Emperanie om Dingaan se beeste van Sikonjella terug te neem. "Toe Retief na Dingaan gegaan het om die beeste te bring wat Sikonjella gesteel het, het my Vader by Maritz agtergebly. My Vader was een van die redders van die Van Rensburgs en Pretoriusse wat op `n koppie by Escourt vasgekeer was deur die Zoeloes. Hy en iemand wie se naam ek vergeet het, het met groot gevaar vir hul lewe, oor on weer deur die Zooloes gejaag om vir die vasgekeerde mense ammunisie aan te bring, waardeur die mense in staat was om die Zoeloeaanvalle af te weer. "My Vader het my vertel dat hulle in 'n kloof opgejaag het en dat daar `n vreeslike gekletter van assegaaie om hulle was. Hulle het egter deurgejaag tot op die koppie en weer terug, onder die aasegaaie heen, laer toe om ammunisie te gaan haal, wat hulle ook geluk het sonder dat een van hulle 'n letsel opgedoen het. "My Vader het my op Danskraal gewys waar die belof be gedoen is. Hy het deelgeneem aan die Slag van Bloedrivier en het my gewys hoe die slag gelewer was. Hy het my die volgende besonderhede meegedeel omtrent die Slag van Bloedrivier. "Dit was op advies van `n ou jong dat Generaal Andries Pretorius lanterns aan sweepstokke om die laer gehang het. Voordat die dag gebreek het, het die mis toegetrek waardeur die kaffers ongemerk in die sloot af gegaan het tot by die laer. Toe hulle gewaar is, het sommige al aan die wawiele begin pluk. Die kanon wat in hierdie slag gebruik het die naam van Grietjie gehad - met hierdie kanon is die kaffers aan die oorkant van die rivier beskiet. Met sy tweede skoot is `n offisier van die Zoeloes gedood waardeur daar verwarring onder die kaffers gekom het. My Vader het gesê dat as dit nie gebeur het nie dan was dit moontlik dat die kaffers hulle kon oorweldig het. My Vader was een van die ruiters wat die Zoeloes by die bopunt van die rivier aangeval het, nadat gen. Pretorius bevel gegee het om storm te jaag. Hier het hulle die kaffers met lopers geskiet, wat in klein sakkies gebind was." Groete Paul le Roux Paarl LE ROUX x STEMMET MILNS x SANDS 1b.

Re: van Rensburg kenners Posted by: "stamouers" [email protected] stamouers Wed Mar 31, 2010 4:58 am (PDT) Goeie Naand Paul, Hierdie is baie interesant. Wie is die vriend van jou? Sover ek kan vastel was daar 'n aantal manne wat uiteindelik die Van Rensburgs en Pretorius families wat vasgekeer was oop die koppie kom help het. Hier is die lys wat ek versamel het: Sarel Cilliers Gerhardus Jacobus Rudolph Gert Maritz Jacob Naude Lourens Petrus van Vuuren Johannes Gerhardus van Vuuren Lucas Rudolph van Vuuren Abram de Beer Daar is 'n Naude onder die lys wat seker die een en selfde persoon kan wees. Die ander ding wat ek baie interesant vind is dat een of twee bronne melding maak dat daar twee persone wat - Marthinus Oosthuisen en iemand anders wat tot boop die Koppie met hulle perde gejaag het. Dan het ek ook ander bronne raakgeloop wat melding maak dat hulle eers die koppie uitgery het en toe daarna na die wa vir ammunisie gegaan het. As mens na al die bronne kyk, is dit seker meer die geval dat hulle binne hoor afstand na die koppie gejaag het en toe na die waens gegaan het. Selfs hier is daar ook twee verskillende stories - een maak melding dat die Van Rensburgs geskreeu het dat hulle nie meer ammunisie het nie en dat daar ammunisie by die waens is. Die ander storie is dat Johannes van Rensburg sy geweer onderstebo gehou het en hulle toe besef het dat die ammunisie uitgeloop is.

    Mstory of the STANDARD BANK GROUP*

    mSTORY OF THE STANDARD BANK GROUP* The City of Port Elizabeth on the coast of the foot of the African conti­ nent was founded in 1799 when Fort Frederick was built by the British on a site overlooking Algoa Bay. Little more than twenty years later, the British Go­ vernment, wrestling with a depression and the problem of absorbing soldiers re­ turning from the Napoleonic Wars, seized on the idea of settling people in the Cape; so it was that in 1820 some 4000 people landed in Algoa Bay and were guided inland to' their allocated farms. Gradually the City grew into the Colony's main commercial centre. In 1857 a group of local businessmen decided to try and form a local bank fi­ nanced by local capital. They could not and so John Paterson, the moving spirit behind the venture, sailed to London in July 1859 to attract overseas investors. Three years later the Cape Argus was able to report on 13 December 1862 ' ...... Mr. John Paterson's "Standard" is fairly hoisted. The Standard Bank starts with a capital of one million sterling and a clerk, cashier and ma­ nager will soon be here .... .' The diamond rush to Kimberley began in 1870, the Bank's equipment having to travel by oxwagon from Port Elizabeth which took a leisurely, if dusty, six weeks to arrive. The only mishap was in fording the Vaal River when the safe slid off the ferry but 'floated like a cork to the opposite shore'. Gold was first found at Barberton in the eastern Transvaal in 1884 and the Standard was quickly there.

    Nuwe Lig Op Die Omstrede Breaker Morant-Geval - 'N Herverhoor Na Honderd Jaar

    JOERNAAUJOURNAL CHAN GUI.ON NUWE LIG OP DIE OMSTREDE BREAKER MORANT-GEVAL - 'N HERVERHOOR NA HONDERD JAAR. 'N POST-MODERNISTIESE BENADERING Louis Changuion • Abstract On 27 February 1902 the two highest ranking officers ofthe Bushveld Carbineers, an Australian unit, lieutenants Breaker Morant and Peter Hancock, were executed in Pretoria. They had been found guilty on the charge of murdering unarmed Boers who wished to surrender. Since then several books on the event were published and a film produced. There is still controversy about the Breaker Morant incident. As part of the commemoration of the Anglo-Boer War the Pietersburg branch of the Central Commemoration Committee held a mock trial The accused were once more found guilty as charged and the audience, except for a few Australians who were present, agreed with the decision. Two of the descendants ofthe German missionary who had witnessed the incident and was killed a day later, also made contributions. INLEIDING Die noordelike dee! van die ou Suid-Afrikaanse Republiek (ZAR) het eers teen die einde van 1900 vir die eerste keer by die oorlog tussen Engeland en die Boere­ republieke betrokke geraak. Nadat die Britse magte Pretoria en daarna die Oos­ Transvaal ingeneem het, het 'n groot aantal kommando's, sowel as die ZAR en die OVS se regerings-te-velde, in Pietersburg aangekom. Van Oktober 1900 tot April 190 I het Pietersburg die rol van nie-amptelike hoofstad van die ZAR vervul. Weldra het die Engelse magte ook die Noord-Transvaal stelselmatig onderwerp en Pietersburg op 8 April 1901 ingeneem. Die kommando's het na die Wolkberg uitge­ wyk.

    –Magazine for members Winter 2010 LS Macquarie’s secrets Sunken treasure His unnatural life A shocking letter Message Regina Sutton The letters and journals of Lachlan Macquarie are among the Library’s most prized collections. These papers — as well as pictures, maps, books and realia — form an indispensable record of early colonial history. They also provide an understanding of Macquarie as a person — his ambitions, frustrations and achievements. ‘‘ By now, you’ll have witnessed the excitement surrounding this year’s bicentennial celebrations of Lachlan Macquarie’s governorship. From 5 July to 10 October, the Library will present a major exhibition, The Governor: Lachlan Macquarie 1810 to 1821, which tells the story of the Macquarie era. A highlight of the exhibition, the list of enemies Macquarie compiled almost 200 years ago, is the focus of curator Warwick Hirst’s article on page 8. Another of Macquarie’s intriguing possessions is the stunning Macquarie Collector’s Chest, featured on our cover. The chest is the subject of a new book by Elizabeth Ellis OAM, Emeritus Curator, Mitchell Library. Elizabeth was instantly smitten by the richly illustrated cabinet of natural history specimens, and writes on page 12 about the mysteries surrounding its provenance. This issue also brings you stories from writers, researchers ‘‘ and curators working with original material at the � Library. You can read about First Fleet journals informing climate change research, contemporary artists inspired by colonial art, and revelations about Marcus Clarke and Breaker Morant that can only be found in the Library’s collection. Also uncovered through our collection are the 100 great stories presented in our must-see centenary exhibition.
  • Harbord Morant - Poems

    Harbord Morant - Poems

    Classic Poetry Series Harry 'Breaker' Harbord Morant - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 1 Harry 'Breaker' Harbord Morant(9 December 1864 – 27 February 1902) Harry 'Breaker' Harbord Morant was an Anglo-Australian drover, horseman, poet, soldier and convicted war criminal whose skill with horses earned him the nickname "The Breaker". The bulk of his published work appeared in The Bulletin magazine. During service in the Second Boer War, Morant participated in the summary execution of several Boer (Afrikaner) prisoners and the killing of a German missionary, Daniel Heese, who had been a witness to the shootings. His actions led to his controversial court-martial and execution for murder. In the century since his death, Morant has become a folk hero to some in Australia. His story has been the subject of several books, a stage play, and a major Australian feature film. <b>Early Life</b> Accounts of Morant's life before the Boer War vary considerably, and it appears that Morant fabricated a number of these romantic legends. Morant is often described as being 'well-educated' and claimed to have been born in 1865 at Bideford, Devon, England and to have been the illegitimate son of Admiral Sir George Digby Morant of the Royal Navy; a claim repeated as fact by later writers, although the admiral denied it. Morant entrusted his cigarette case and other personal belongings to Major Bolton, the prosecuting officer during the later courts martial with the words "see that my family gets them".
