I have presented these at our pastors conferences in Namibia . <br /> As to the name ' Afrikaner ' in relation to Jan Jonker - this was his ' clan name' and had nothing to do with the boers . <br />Thanks for your encouragement and greetings Greetings !

From what I remember, he was a black chief and head of the Oorlam tribe. Reading your article, gave the possible impression that he was an 'Afrikaner' i.e. boertjie. Not that this detracts from the article. Have you considered getting it published?Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762959748083954607noreply@blogger.com
