Hans Dons by Adriaan (At) M de Lange

Julle kan 'n uitgebreide WEB-werf oor Hans Dons maak. Hy is my 7de voor-vader. Ek skryf 'n boeke oor VRYHEID en die rol wat dit speel in 'n holistiese siening van evolusie versus revolusie. Ek het die boek "Die Wit Kraai" as geskenk gekry toe ek 11 jaar oud was. Dit het 'n vonk veroorsaak wat nou se jare (74, rolstoel gebonde, 2 krukke loop) soos 'n groot vuur deur die vlaktes brand. Ek benodig goeie fotos van familie asook sy reise as verkenner. My oupa-groot, (99 jaar, ek 7?jaar) Herzogville, het my vertel hoe hy tot diep in Botswanna tot by die panne en Zimbabwe (ander Boere name in daardie jare) was om na die ruienes te kyk. Ek het mettertyd gaan kyk en mettertyd 'n woestynloper soos die San geword. Boesmanland, Richtersveld en seekus van die dood (Namibia) het van my paradyse geword. My storie word te lank. Best wense -- At (Adriaan)

The Lucas Meijer House Museum by Steve Coetzee

I have visited your beautiful museum about 20 years ago. I grew up in Vryheid in the 1960's and attended Nuwe Republiek Laerskool. Could you please help me with some information. I was a small boy on the farm Welgevonden and Weltevrede near Lenjane. My grandparents (who are burried in Vryheid cemetary) build that original house, but i never had the chance to ask them who the buiders were. I want to know who the people were that had the knowledge to cut the "Blou ysterklip" and build those beautiful cut and stacked stone cattle kraals. I dout if it was the Zuloes, because they never used that method pf building. Maybe Basoetoes?? Who cut the sandstone of the NG church? And the police station? I will really appreciate if you could enlighten me. Kind regards Steve Coetzee.
