Leendert Hasenbosch: 34

Survived: around 6 months on the Ascension Islands Leendert Hasenbosch was a Dutch soldier who went aboard a VOC-ship as the bookkeeper. After the ship made a stop at Cape Town in 1725 he was sentenced for sodomy and set ashore on Ascension Island. He was given a tent and the amount of water for about a month, some seeds, a bible, clothing and writing materials. Hasenbosch survived by eating sea turtles and seabirds as well as drinking his own urine. It is believed he probably died in a terrible condition after about six months. Leendert Hasenbosch wrote a diary that was found by British mariners in 1726 who brought the diary back to Britain. The diary was rewritten and published a number of times. from:http://listverse.com/2008/10/06/10-incredible-real-life-castaway-tales/

Mr Stratford of Waverly stores in Beach Road Nahoon 33

Mr Stratford of Waverly stores in Beach Road Nahoon East London. They stayed in a flat above the shop. Every second Wednesday I delivered flowers to them (1957). They were an old(?) English couple that ran the grocery store. They still measured out by weight the rice, sugar and other items. They ran a tab system for their clients and even had a home delivery system. They closed after a place called "Super Valu" opened a supermarket type shop and they in turn closed when "pick and pay" started trading on Main Reef road. Hugh Huggett had the pharmacy next door, Lorwins the habedashery, then there was Englers hardware store (they owned a plot with a dam just behind the shops) and the Fruit and veg shop (Fruitshop - remember the blind man that served one there?)and a cafe (for a short time there was a take away called the Golden Oriel. Salon petite was the hairdresser (Mrs Beaurain. The Van Heerdens lived in the corner of beach road and Drake Rd (after the Gurkeys) lived there.

Anna Steenkamp 32

Anna Steenkamp, Retief's niece, made a statement that that slaves had been 'placed on an equal footing with Christians - and that is believed by many being the reason for the Great Trek. This view is however limited. The main reason for the Trek was Socio-political and economic.

A resonable (abbreviated history can be found here: www.voortrekker-history.co.za/early_history.php

One can say that The Great Trek was precipitated by a series of events and the fealing that "they were regarded as a subject and inferior race … [The] feeling of bitterness became so intense that about the year 1836 large numbers of individuals determined to leave forever the Colony and the homes which they had created.’

The causes of the trek were complex but can be summarised in a single sentence. The trekkers left because of a lack of land, labour and security, which they felt unable to address due to a lack of representation, giving rise to a profound sense of marginalisation. http://newhistory.co.za/part-1-chapter-3-the-great-trek-why-they-left/> http://www.klipbokkop.co.za/logisticalsupport/groot-trek-175.html

Anna Steenkamp, die niggie van Pieter Retief, het in 1837 die Kaapkolonie verlaat. Voor haar dood het sy ’n dagboek vir haar kinders en kleinkinders gehou waarin sy die verhaal vertel het van die verskriklike ontberings wat hulle tydens die trek beleef het. In haar wakis was ’n sakkie met akkers. Na die trek het Anna Steenkamp haar op die plaas Groenvlei, naby Lindley in die Vrystaat, gevestig. Daar het sy die sakkie akkers geplant wat vanaf die Kaapkolonie saam met haar getrek het. Twee reusebome het opgekom. Van die een boom wat omgeval het, is ’n nagmaaltafel en stoele gemaak wat vandag in een van Lindley se kerke staan. Onder die skadu van Anna se akkerboom word die Gelofte al meer as ’n 100 jaar gevier. Die plaas Groenvlei is een van die oudste plase in die Vrystaat.
