That's Louis Botha, @ThatRightWingFish - a traitor.

Oh

Kek

Did not know that

lol

every group has its traitors

How about Jan Smuts?

Ditsem! @alexfletcha, you just advanced to level 1!

@alexfletcha I think D.F. Malan said it best in parliament, and I paraphrase:

I support building a statue for Jan Smuts. We can build it next to that of Jan van Riebeeck. But, as Jan van Riebeeck's statue gazes towards the mountain, Smuts' statue must gaze towards the ocean...

He's got that bad a reputation. Wow.

I grew up in Durban. I can't remember hearing anything bad about him.

He was snug in the pocket of the British.

I remember my parents and their friends mentioning 1948 when Smuts lost the election - as in that was a bad thing. But then we were Brits so it makes sense.

He had Jopie Fourie, an Afrikaner rebel and freedom fighter executed to show his subservience to the crown.

Was that during WW1?

The 1914 Revolt, occurred because the men who supported the re-creation of the old Boer republics rose up against the government of the Union of South Africa as they did not want to side with the British against Germany. Many Boers had German ancestry and many members of the government were themselves former Boer military leaders who had fought with the rebels against the British in the Second Boer War. The rebellion was put down by Louis Botha and Jan Smuts, the ringleaders received fines and terms of imprisonment.

Yeah I've read about that, although I don't remember the names of the rebels.

Jopie Fourie's execution: An Afrikaner delegation that included future prime minister D.F. Malan unsuccessfully petitioned Minister of Defence, Gen. Smuts, to extend leniency. No mercy was given. Fourie was executed without a blindfold on 20 December 1914.

Brutal

Tfw you will never have a beard as majestic as a Boer warrior

Looking through my old books

Ek dink daai silhouette is ikonies genoeg sodat mense weet.

Dinge scale nie soos wat die std goed scale nie daar is 'n trick met dit

That pic just made me thought of this for some reason.

^^^ Nostalgie. Ek het gegaan tot my 5 jaar juk. 💪😎💪

@Sheamus pretty sure png ain't vector :)

@cµrvy well portable network graphic, SVG was probably what I should have said lol, but png is scalable though.

ya, makes it more scalable because it's lossless.

@Dewald my ouma was deel van die ossewabrandwag.... TROTS....

@Dewald het jy al jou voorgeslagte opgesoek?

Ditsem! @KoninginTanja, you just advanced to level 4!

@Tanja Soortvan maar ek voel sleg ek moet bietjie meer belangstel. Sal by die volgende familie byeenkoms definitief n gesprek begin met die ouer lede

@Dewald verseker, onthou, hulle gaan nie veraltyd leef nie. Ek het dit gedoen en uitgevind my eerste voorgeslag wat gebore is in Suid Afrika was in 1705. Sy pa het geland in die Kaap in 1688. Dis nogals amazing.

Ek weet ek is van my Ma en Pa se kant afkomstig van die Franse Hugenote. Hulle het ook seker daardie tyd hier aan gekom. Nee ek stem hoe ouer ek word hoe meer besef ek dat dit belangrik is om van jou familie se geskiedenis te leer

@Dewald hier is iets oor my oupagrootjie: *Krygsgevangende Anglo Boere Oorlog. Nr. 24109 Datum gevang: 1901/09/03 te Zuikerbosch Ouderdom: 17 Kamp: Siakot, Umballa, Ahmedaager, India.*
Net vanaf die manlike voorgeslagte is ek ook 'n afstammeling van die Franse Hugenote. Hy was gebore in Flanders.

Hallo almal, hiers ietsie wat ek aan mekaar geslaan het. Laat my weet wat julle dink. Eks bly daar is ander mense wat soos ek dink in die wereld.
