"Less amusing was the alleged shooting in cold blood of the young Joseph Rabie, a Jew serving in the Western Province Mounted Rifles, by General Manie Maritz. The incident took place at Rietfontein near Calvinia (North-West Cape) in late 1901, where Maritz was conducting guerilla operations. Rabie is indeed listed as having been killed while on patrol at this time and in this locality. It was said that Maritz walked up to him while he was guarding a wagon and, with the words ‘Joodjie, wat maak jy hier?’ (’Jewboy, what are you doing here?’), put his revolver against his head and pulled the trigger. That Maritz had time to make his remark before shooting, and moreover that he knew that Rabie was Jewish, strongly suggests that the latter was an unarmed prisoner when he was shot. While atrocity stories abound in wartime, given Maritz’s known penchant for brutality and his virulent antisemitism, this story may well be true."

Penny whistle still rings so many bells for me...back to the fifties and our back yard; learning to jive under the instruction of Thomas the Malawian cook.

A beautiful picture. Francis Baard was involved in organising for the same union as I was, later, The Food and Canning Workers Union, which Ray Alexander started. i also did a radio documentary about the Women's Anti-pass struggle some years ago, which used a clip of Francis Baard's voice explaining that a pass had never done any work, that it had never dug a potato...If I was technologically capable, I would send this doc on the computer for your interest, but as it is, I will have to send you a cd copy if you are interested, and so would need a physical address. ]]> Fri, 18 Dec 2009 00:19:52 +0100 http://www.loveitbutleftit.fr/article-picture-by-giselewulfsohn-frances-baard-41089714-comments.html#comment53114997 http://www.loveitbutleftit.fr/article-picture-by-gisele-wulfsohn-hilda-bernstein-39214443-comments.html#comment53078883 I found your entry and lovely picture of my mum What a happy couple of anecdotes it was, I've forwarded it to my brother & two sisters
