Foreword by the English Translators

It has been a privilege to translate this very important book; a book with a clear

message from a prophet of the Almighty God to his people, not only present inthe Sothern point of Africa, bt also to the !estern !orld" If one reads these

visions of the Seer #icolaas van $ensbrg, one finds the %and of Almighty God

always present, srely giding %is people towards their destiny, according to

%is !ill, throgh all the errors made by this stiff&necked people ot of own

choice"

The time of this destiny is on the hori'on and like the sn at dawn, only a faint

light is visible, bt as the sn rises over and above the hori'on, its light

sddenly becomes bright and clear" So also will the time of this destiny

sddenly appear" The brightness thereof will be sch, that it will consme their

enemies like that of fire, forever to be destroyed"(eremiah chapter )*+-+ .Is tsa mo tha ags mo ghai&sce cogaidh ina n&aonar

ina bhfichidi ags ina mbeirt ags ina sivaite/0 1Tho art my battle&a2e and

weapons of war, for with Thee will I break in pieces the #ations and with Thee

will I destroy kingdoms3" After the great strggle has ended, may we then voice

the following to the %onor of or God .!ha hae wi God bled"0

General information

4rists will probably find mch to critici'e abot while persing this book, as

the langage therein is inclined to be rather archaic" %owever, rewriting it into

modern English wold change the whole character of the Seer 5an $ensbrg6s

story" As the reader will learn, Seer was a simple, hmble man who had no

formal edcation, being able only to read his 7ible with great difficlty"The manner in which he describes his visions may initially seem confsing, and

sometimes may not even make sense to the average reader" %owever, as the

story nfolds, the reader will become more familiar with his particlar style" To

facilitate nderstanding of the symbols which he sed, a complete list will be

fond elsewhere in this book"

The term 89affir:s6 has been retained wherever the Seer describes his visions in

which blacks are featred" Shold anyone feel offended by this, please

nderstand that no offence is intended, bt the term is in keeping with his style

of e2pression and the period in which he lived"

All 7iblical otations sed in the te2t have been taken from the 9ing (ames5ersion, e2cept where specifically marked+ 8Good #ews 7ible6"

The Seer often refers to shoes or boots in his visions" 4lease note that the shoes

or boots generally worn in his day were known as 8velskoene6 1literally 8skin6&

shoes3" <any farmers of his day made their own shoes or boots from tanned o2&

or other hide, and althogh not as stylish as the factory prodct, were

nonetheless strdy, togh and hardwearing"

The !ar of *=>> & *>- is commonly referred to as the Anglo 7oer !ar" It is

also known as the 7oer !ar, Second 7oer !ar, Second !ar of ?iberation or

Freedom" For the sake of conformity the latter term is sed throghot most of

the te2t"

Aloes, or aloe trees are often sed throghot the te2t" %owever, the aloesreferred to here are the Agave, American aloe or sisal plant, commonly called

8garingbome6 1cotton&trees3 in Afrikaans"

?et s go to the Seer"""

Abot five o6clock one atmn morning, I was sitting on my cane chair reading

* Samel >" Sal and his servant were looking for his father6s asses that had

been lost" They fond nothing, and when Sal wanted to go back his servant

advised him that they shold conslt a man of God" %e said the following to

Sal+ .7ehold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honorable

man, all that he saith cometh srely to pass; now let s go thither 1to the seer3;

peradventre he can show s or way that we shold go"0Something happened to me at that moment; a shdder went throgh me, a light

flashed throgh my head and as I stood p I spoke alod to myself+ .%ave we

not had or man of God and Seer0

5age memories came to mind, and for a fleeting moment I saw myself in the

contryside at ?ichtenbrg where my father was bsy telling me, my brothers

and sister abot Seer van $ensbrg who always went to a hill behind his hose

dring the day, to read his 7ible and pray" .And there God spoke to him"0 I

heard my father say"

This was what I cold remember" I then started searching, bt @st like Sal6s

asses, Seer van $ensbrg was lost to me" Then one morning at a place calledEloffsdal, 4retoria, he appeared before me in the form of old <r" 4al 4rinsloo,

an eighty two year old .disciple0, and a person who knew all abot Seer van

$ensbrgBa man even at that age, who had bright and clear eyes" And for the

first time since my childhood I heard the following words+ .Seer van $ensbrg

said""" 8 And from that time on I met varios other people who knew abot the

7oer 4rophet and what he had said" Then information started coming to me like

a flood"

Today I know withot dobtBwe had or own Seer/

4$EFACE

4rophet, or bearer of an apocalypse

Dring the last arter of the previos centry and the first arter of thiscentry, no one was more well& known in the !estern Transvaal than #icolaas

van $ens& nbrg, the Seer"

%e was a legend dring his lifetime and not only did well&known generals of

the 7oer war, like De ?a $ey and 9emp believe that he was a prophet, bt

statesmen like Generals %ert'og, ?ois 7otha and ("C" Smts on more than one

occasion witnessed, even in 4arliament, that #icolaas van $ensbrg6s

prophecies have come tre dring their lifetime"

There is enogh evidence which proves that #icolaas van $ensbrg was no

charlatan" The only book he read was the 7ible and he believed that his visions

came directly from God and never did he practice occltism" %e was a devotedChristian and never sed his .gift of prophecy0 for personal gain, or attempt to

impress anyone" %e believed that yo mst live yor life in honor of God and

many 7ible verses are fond in his prophecies, and to this day it has not yet

been proven that his prophecies were false, 1e2cept those ignorant people who

have attempted to interpret them in their own way3"

In a stdy called Bible History for Catechises pblished in *>* and edited by

4rofessor ("I" de !et, it wold seem that #icolaas van $ensbrg was a bearer of

an Apocalypse more than being a prophet"

#icolaas 1Seer3 van $ensbrg, the 7oer 4rophet, died in l>, bt today he is

still considered to be one of the most remarkable personages in or history"

It is therefore srprising that there has been only one half&hearted attempt, -years after his death, to pblish his life story"

From *=l 1when he was only seven years old3 ntil his death in *>, he had

more than -- visions abot his people in Soth Africa, other nations, as well



as world affairs" Althogh many of his visions were remembered by word of

moth, it was only dring the last ten years of his life that he asked his

daghter, Anna, to write down his daily visions"

The 7ooks are ?ost/

The two books which contained his visions as written down by Anna, his

daghter, were nowhere to be fond dring the early years of l>=-, and even the

remaining family did not know where they were" According to an article in a

Snday newspaper in *>=l, these books disappeared after the death of hisdaghter, Anna 7adenhorst, and cold not be fond" #ow, after abot )- years

the books have again emerged and when reading these visions 1they have an

astonishing parallel with the $evelation of (ohn3 one realises that the symbols

and metaphors @st may contain the key to those things we do not yet

nderstand in or times" In abot -- visions the history of #icolaas van

$ensbrg6s people, the Afrikaner, is sketched over a period of l-- years, fitting

together like pieces of a p''le" ne mst only find the right piece at the right

time to complete the pictre"

9nowledge and interpretation of most of these visions were for years only

known to certain people" 7t to date many of the Seer6s closest friends coldnot interpret all #icolaas van $ensbrg6s visions" An attempt was made in a

recent pblication, bt not only were these interpretations contrary to those

given by #icolaas van $ensbrg himself, 1bt even contrary to the

interpretations given by the people themselves3 thereby casing a lot of

damage" (st as there are visions and revelations by Daniel and other pro& phets

of the 7ible which will only be nderstood when they are flfilled, so it is with

some of #icolaas van $ens& brg6s visions"

So that everyone can know0

!ith the pblication of Voice of a Prophet , I am flfilling the wish of #icolaas

van $ensbrg, namely that his visions shold be made known to all his people"

In *>l he had a vision that towards the end of this centry his people wold become more and more interested to know abot his visions" At that time he

told a very good friend of his, <r" 7oy <ssmann, who lived in 5rybrg, the

following+ .There will come a time when I will be mch in the news again" At

that time I saw that we as a nation were still arging amongst one another, and

then sddenly we have a black government" Then only will the Afrikaners6 most

bitter strggle begin"0 %e also said+ .I see a time when the whole world will be

ploghed nder" 1This is the beginning of the Third !orld !ar and everything

will be in disorder and confsion will reign3" Then I saw a snake lying on the

ploghed land" I cold not see its head or tail """"1#obody will know for certain

where this war will begin, or where and when it will end3" Everything in the

chrches will also be wrong" I saw my daghter Anna seated and writing, then Iknew+ nobody wold be able to make head or tail of my visions for one will say

B#icolaas van $ensbrg said this and another will arge and say, no, he said

ths"""" After seeing this vision I asked my daghter to write down my visions

daily so that all will know when the time comes"0 <rs" Anna 7adenhorst 1his

daghter3, who was *H at the time, started writing down all his visions from

*)th Agst *>* ntil his death ten years later, filling two books with

hndreds of entries" %ow many actal visions #icolaas van $ensbrg had will

probably never be known" Those which he .saw0 from *=*, were mostly

memori'ed and kept by word of moth"

The Seer, #icolaas van $ensbrg, did not discss his visions with everyone"4erhaps the reason was that God so decreed it and sent only a few genine and

trstworthy friends and people to the old prophet, people and friends who had

the gift, when #icholas van $ensbrg had pas& sed away, to be able to



remember verbatim what he had told them" Sch people and friends were

Generals 9oos De ?a $ey and Christiaan de !et 1two 7oer generals from the

7oer !ar3, and <r" 9erneels #iewenhis, bt especially his good and trsted

friend, <r" 7oy <ssmann" <r" <ssmann said+ .I devoted my life to make my

people aware of the visions and their interpretations as seen by #icolaas0"

Evidence hereof are the hndreds of letters regarding these visions he wrote to

people, newspapers and maga'ines" Some of these are also, for the first time in

H- years inclded in this book"?astly, I also received a neatly handwritten manscript abot Seer6s visions and

interpretations, written in beatifl Afrikaans 1the Krause Document 3" For me

personally it is one of the most important Seer discoveries of the past nmber of

years" It consists of over >- pages and contains all his well&known visions as

written down by his daghter, Anna, in the two vision books, bt also incldes

his astonding vision of the otbreak and otcome of !orld !ar 1as

memorised by pa 1Grandfather3 9rase3" !hen the old man was sent to @ail

in *>H by (an Smts he related these ftre events verbally to a celmate <r"

7rits who wrote it down" Fthermore it contains a nmber of letters personally

written by the Seer, as well as some e2tremely interesting new visions which

were not docmented by his daghter"

Jndobtedly Seer van $ensbrg has an enormos inflence on the descendants

of his people" %e himself said that the time wold come when he wold be very

mch in the news again; a time when his compatriots wold be at loggerheads

with each other; a dark time when they wold be sb@ects nder a black

government" That prophesy has already been flfilled in or time/

Astonishing wisdom and knowledge

ne of the very first things I noticed when I began my research on the life and

prophecies of #icolaas van $ensbrg, was his hmility and nshakable belief

and trst in God"

%e never had any formal schooling, yet his knowledge and wisdom not onlyastonished his own family and friends, bt even scholars from Cambridge

Jniversity, England 1who had persed his visions3 cold not believe that he

never had any formal edcation and that he was @st an ordinary and illiterate

farmer"

From l>l #icolaas van $ensbrg only revealed his visions and interpretations

to his daghter, Anna, and closest friends" This was confirmed by <r" 7oy

<ssmann in many of his letters"

Dring #icolaas van $ensbrg6s lifetime many of his visions were flfilled, like

the second 7oer !ar, and after that the Jnion of Soth Africa" <any of his

visions have yet to be flfilled, while others have already been flfilled dring

the last decade or two" Some e2amples are the disintegration of $ssia which

wold coincide with ma@or reforms in Soth Africa, and Afrikaner dissension"

I hope, with the pblication of this book, - years after #icolaas van

$ensbrg6s passing away, to reintrodce him to his people as the man of God,

the prophet and tre patriot"The writing of this book, 5oice of a 4rophet, like

none other, has given me days of @oy"

C%A4TE$ *

<essenger of God

#icolaas 4ieter (ohannes (anse van $ensbrg was born on the -th of Agst*=H, near the town called !olmaransstad, on the family farm, $ietkil, where

he spent his childhood" ?ike most children of his day, he grew p in difficlt

and trblent times" At the age of seven he started his schooling which lasted a



mere - days, for his father needed his help on their farm" From that time he

never had any formal edcation again"

From a tender age he was known to be 8different6, timid and reserved and never

took part in the mischievos pranks of boys his age, nor did he have any real

interest in farming" %e mostly en@oyed listening to his mother reading to him

from the 7ible" 7y means of the 7ible his mother was able to teach him, with

difficlty, to read the 7ook by spelling and deciphering the words one at a time"

From that time ntil his death, the 7ible was the only book he ever read and hehad no interest whatever to read anything else, for he believed other books or

newspapers were worldly things and did not spiritally enhance a person" This

made his knowledge and visions of world affairs all the more astonishing for by

only reading the 7ible over a period of )) years, he accrately forecast what

wold happen worldwide in the ftre"

%is mother, Anna Catharina van $ensbrg, was a iet, sensitive and soft&

spoken woman and healthwise not very strong" #icolaas van $ensbrg did not

only take after his mother, bt also inherited her frailness" This was the main

reason why there was sch a strong bond between them ntil her death"

(st like his mother, he disliked violence to sch an e2tent that he cold noteven stand seeing an animal being slaghtered" It is therefore an enigma why he

@oined the 7oer forces dring both wars and stayed throghot ntil the end,

even thogh he foresaw the disastros otcome" %e is also the only soldier in

history who never shot at or killed any of his enemiesBhe never carried a gn"

<any who did not nderstand his gift of prophecy shrgged their sholders and

oted Shakespeare+ .there are more things in heaven and on earth than are

dreamed of in yor philosophy"0

!hen he was still a toddler, his mother noticed that her son cold 8see6 things,

bt he was then still too yong to grasp and nderstand what was happening to

him" %is mother believed that if this gift was from God, her son wold

nderstand at a later stage" Even thogh she had always wondered how greatthis gift was that her son received and asked him many times what he was

seeing that made him so nhappy, he only stood staring at her with his deep

penetrating ble eyes and cold never tter a word" The look in his eyes was

sch that she wanted to take him to her and hg him"

<any people have said that his eyes pt fear into them and did not want to look

into them" thers again said that they have never seen sch sad eyes, it was as

thogh he looked at yo from an infinite depth, throgh yo, as if he saw

something far away which broght the sadness to his eyes"

%ow heavily this brden of prophet or seer rested on his sholders, nobody

wold know, bt at the age of twenty he had already started greying and waschosen as an elder in his chrch the following year" At thirty, neighboring

farmers older than him called him 8om6 #iklaas 18om6 meaning ncle in

English and is widely sed among Afrikaners as a sign of respect for somebody

older than oneself, even thogh not one6s immediate family3" A female was

likewise addressed as 8Tante6 or 8Tant6, meaning ant, while peers sally

addressed each other as 8neef6 or 8nig6, meaning cosin"3" An Afrikaans writer,

(ohannes <eint@es, who had made a stdy of #icolaas van $ens& brg, pt it

this way+ .It is as if #icolaas van $ensbrg had never known any childhood or

teenage years, as if he was born old and one cold not help bt feel awe and

respect towards him"0

%is mother was a woman who kept to herself and many times locked herself inher room to stdy the 7ible" This love of the 7ible and the knowledge thereof,

she always shared with her son, #icolaas"



ne day when their minister remarked to her how obvios and great the

resemblance between her and her son was, she said+ .I know, $everend, I have

the feeling that #icolaas will become a great and well&known preacher one

day"""0

She probably knew something, as mothers sometimes do/ nly at one time

dring his childhood 1he was seven years old3 did she have a glimpse of his gift

of prophecy, becase she had passed away long before #icolaas became known

as a seer and a legend in his lifetime" 9ort koos6 van $ensbrg

#icolaas6 father, known as !illem, or 89ort 1Short3 9oos6 19oos being an

abbreviation of (acobs, or (acob3, was a very rgged man and had no time for

cowardice" As a teenager he was part of the .Great Trek0 and had to face many

hardships and dangers and when he arrived in the Transvaal, he settled on a

farm which he called 8$ietkil6 1$eed 4ool3" It therefore came as a shock to him

when he discovered that his yongest son, #icolaas, was not to follow in his

footsteps" %e wanted togh and rgged sons, who cold, like him, take on the

strggle of life with no sympathy towards, or from anyone"

%e never showed sympathy and the workers 1blacks3 on his farm e2periencedthis" %e therefore made #icolaas a shepherd, for he believed that was all he

cold do" #icolaas therefore left home every morning to herd sheep" %e carried

his food and 7ible with him, and while looking after the sheep he strggled

with the reading of the 7ible and as a reslt he eventally read throgh it many

times and cold remember lengthy passages"

The 5an $ensbrg family was very poor, and to sbsidise his meagre income,

9ort 9oos had to leave the farm many times with his wagon loaded with farm

prodcts and tools he had made, to barter for food" Dring these times his wife

and for children were alone on the farm and Annie, his wife, being of timid

natre, e2perienced these times as a nightmare, for there were many raider

gangs roving arond the contryside robbing and plndering" Dream vision

It was dring one of these times when 9ort 9oos was absent on a trip that

#icolaas had one of his visions"

A very loyal black worker, <oos, working for the 5an $ensbrg family,

knocked on the kitchen door one evening" The children were already asleep"

This black warned #icolaas6 mother he had heard that one of the gangs who

roamed the contryside was going to attack the family farm that evening and

mrder them all"

#icolaas6 mother was nmb with shock, for althogh knowing abot these

roving, plndering gangs, she never e2pected that they wold be attacked" Sheimmediately woke the children and told them that they mst get ready to leave

for a neighboring farm"

#icolaas, when his mother woke him, sat still for a moment, staring" %e then

said to her+ .It will not be necessary, <other, for God appeared to me in a

dream, saying that we mst stay home, for %e will protect s, as long as Father

is away" !e mst stay"0

The seven year old #icolaas was calm and spoke with confidence, a confidence

which his mother had never heard before" She wanted them to leave

immediately, bt #icolaas told her+ .Ko, 4ieter and the girls can goBI am

staying home"0 %is mother6s impression was that God wanted her to protect her

home and children nto death" She then decided that this was what she wolddo"

She took her for children to the front room 1sitting room3 of the hose, made

them lie down, covered them with blankets, took the old msket and waited"



#icolaas6 brother and two sisters went to sleep immediately, bt he stayed

awake with his mother" Everything was iet and by snrise no attack had taken

place"

At first light #icolaas6 mother looked throgh the window and saw the gang

otside" For some ine2plicable reason they never attacked and as she looked she

saw them trn and rn away as if they were frightened by something or

somebody" She cold never find ot why they never attacked the hose or why

they sddenly ran away, bt from that day she believed more in her son6s gift tosee, and accepted that he received visions from God, becase he trsted in God

so mch and stdied the 7ible diligently"

A lifetime of pain, an2iety and sorrow

#icolaas van $ensbrg eventally came to nderstand this gift he hadBa gift

which wold bring him a lifetime of pain, an2iety and sorrow, for being able to

8see6 into the ftre is not always beneficial" %e also realised he cold not se

this gift to enrich himself, for then it wold be taken away, and he also realised

that the message which he wold receive throgh his gift, was far too precios

to his people, as he had to warn them of their ftre"

Althogh he was a timid person, his patriotism was very strong at the age oftwelve, and as he grew older it became like a brning flame within his heart"

This brning patriotism became more of a brning desire when he 8saw6 how

his people 1the Afrikaner 7oer #ation3 wold be oppres& sed, downtrodden, and

how traitoros some of his own wold be" 1The 7oers were first oppressed by

7ritain, thereafter by world leaders and lastly by their own political leaders3"

%e also saw division amongst his people, rebellion, brothers fighting brothers

with blood flowing, droghts, poverty, world wars and then the first of two

repblics"

In one of these visions he saw twilight descending over this contry, a vision he

also saw @st before he passed away, bt this time he saw twilight becoming

darkness"Shortly after this last vision he told a visiting member of the family+ .There will

be more treason, more abse, yes, I see more division and more flowing of

blood than dring the $ebellion" 1Dring the *>*H $ebellion the 7oers took p

arms and sided with Germany3" This is not @st or blood, bt I also see an

nbelievable miracle happening" !hen I saw this miracle, I knew only then that

the strggle of my people 1for freedom and a free contry, a $epblic of their

own3 will be flfilled and then it will be the end of the time of my visions""""0

C%A4TE$

The gift of prophecy

4eople who have the gift of prophecy acknowledge that it sometimes appears intheir yonger years, sometimes in middle age and now and then in old age, bt

very seldom throghot their lives"

#icolaas van $ensbrg6s case was different, for it began at a very early age and

only came to an end when he passed away" It reached its 'enith dring the 7oer

!ar, when it sbsided a little and reached a peak again dring his later years"

%e always e2perienced his visions in times of silence and:or when he was

alone"

Twelve years after the 7oer !ar, when he was imprisoned for participating in

the $ebellion of l>*H, he e2plained to a @ornalist, %arm ost, how his visions

ap& peared to him" 7efore this only his wife and children and a few compatriots

knew how his visions came to him"%e e2plained it as follows+ .I start to e2perience a sort of pressre in the back

of my head and my senses begin to spin ntil I become so di''y that I cannot

stand pright any more" I then lie down, pt my hands behind my head and



close my eyes" Even thogh my eyes are closed I begin to see a ha'iness

passing before my eyes, bt the pressre in my head is still there" The ha'e

becomes thicker and starts to whirl like clods that are gathering and ot of this

the visions come as clear as daylight as thogh I am there myself" The only

thing I can do is to look and see what is shown to me""""""0

The visions end when the pressre and the di''iness sbside" %e then

contemplates on what he saw so that he may nderstand them" (st like in the

$evelation of (ohn, #icolaas van $ensbrg6s visions appeared in symbols,which were ob@ects he came into daily contact with, like pigs, goats, sheep,

o2en, horses, and asses" These animals also appear in different colors" For

e2ample+ a red bll will be England; a ble bllBGermany, and o2en with

white on the back will be America" The Afrikaner 7oer nation was always seen

as a greyish or brown type of animal"

Frther symbols were farming implements sch as picks, shovels, sickles,

ploghs, etc" 2 wagons, hooded carts and other vehicles were also symbols"

<any other ob@ects and animals seen as symbols played prominent roles in

these visions, like certain bck species 1Springbok3, chickens, yellow water,

trning wheels, etc"

%is visions were not always chronological, nor logical, and sometimes they

were so comprehensive that he e2perienced them over periods of days and even

weeks"

In the beginning he did not always nderstand his visions and it sometimes

happened for e2ample that he saw a vision of somebody withot his:her hat on

1In those days no 7oer was ever seen withot his hat on3" nly when this

person had passed away, did he know the meaning of sch a vision" 7t he soon

learned to nderstand the meanings of the symbols and visions, bt althogh he

cold or wold not in the beginning, either nderstand, or interpret his visions,

he later did so" Interpretations he only gave to close friends whose integrity he

did not dobt"From *>* ntil his death, he always went to sit on a small hill behind his

farmhose to pray and stdy his 7ible in the silence and dring these times he

e2perienced his visions" 4eople living in the srronding areas then started to

name his little hill as 8the place of visions6, for every time he retrned after

having been on this little hill, his daghter had to write down what he had seen"

C%A4TE$

The Second $evelation

%is disciple

7oy <ssmann corresponded with varios people for decades ntil his death in

*> regarding #icolaas van $ensbrg6s visions; he was his bosom friend fortwelve years, as well as his 8disciple6 and only 8messenger6" In his letters he not

only wrote comprehensively abot #icolaas van $ensbrg6s visions, which

were told to him personally, bt the more difficlt and incomprehensible

symbols and visions were e2plained to him by #icolaas"

%e said the following+ .If I had to pt into book form everything I have written

down, it wold come close to what one of the writers of the 7ible wrote

1""""making many books, there is no endBEcclesiastes * verse l3" Every

Afrikaner, whether rich or poor, shold read it 1the Seer6s story and his visions3,

then or people will know that they also had a prophet as one reads abot in the

7ible in Samel Chapter > verse > 87efore time in Israel when a man went to

enire of God, ths he spoke, come let s go to the seer, for he then is nowcalled a prophet was before time called a Seer6"0

Afrikaner, whom he loved so mch"L

After this, <r" <ssmann started gathering all the information he cold

things went wrong for him when General ("C" Smts sent a team of detectives

to confiscate all books and also the 8secret6 Krause Document 1see Chapter 3

in which these visions were written, 1probably becase of the less flattering

things abot Smts and the ftre of the contry that #icolaas had prophesied3"

!earers of the prophetic cloak

Israel and the Afrikaner nationThe well&known English athor, ?awrence G" Green, focses on two interesting

comparisons between the Afrikaner nation and Israel, a conclsion he came to

after years of stdying the Afrikaner nation+ 1a3 That nowhere other than in

4alestine wold one find as many 7iblical names of places and towns as in

Soth Africa, and 1b3 that the Afrikaner, more than any other nation in the

world, has received the gift of prophecy"

Green mentions 4resident 4al 9rger as one member of the Afrikaner nation

that had this gift, as he cold 8see6 game in a hnting grond long before he and

his fellow&hnters reached that specific area or watering hole" 7t one evening

4al 9rger, after having asked his yong wife, Ge'ina, to read certain chaptersto him from the 7ible, left the hose and went to a montain called the

<agaliesberg 1a montain range in the Sothern Transvaal and repted to be

one of the oldest ranges in the world3, to be alone with God"

Days later his wife, worried sick, asked the neighbors to help search for him"

They fond him on the montain near to death from lack of water and food"

Althogh he never spoke abot his e2perience dring those days on the

<agaliesberg <ontain, it was said that he awaited a message from God to

show him the right way to go"

7t what really happened was that he, like (acob, wrestled with God" 7eing a

strict Calvinist, he was afraid that his gift to 8see6 wold weaken his trst in

God, and when he was on the montain he prayed that this gift be taken awayfrom him" %is prayer was answered"

General De la $ey regarding the seer



General 9oos de la $ey did not have the gift of clairvoyance, bt cold

immediately detect whether somebody was an opportnist, a renegade or a

charlatan" If Seer van $ensbrg was a charlatan 1as some people have alleged3,

General De ?a $ey wold have been the first to notice this and wold not have

named #icolaas van $ensbrg 8a messenger to his people6, nor wold he have

said that Seer was .an instrment of a 4ower which I recogni'e and respect"0

According to the Afrikaans historian, 4rofessor G" van der !esthi'en, seers

and prophets were not nie with& in the Afrikaner nation, as sch cases cold be traced throghot their history" Among others he refers to a letter in the

7loemfontein !ar <sem 1range Free State3 containing details of a vision

seen by a <rs" Annie 7otha on the nd of <ay *>--" %er vision is very similar

to one seen by Seer van $ensbrg" She also foresaw ?ord $oberts6 scorched

earth policy which wold only be implemented in September *>--" 1This refers

to the torching of 7oer farms and hoses by the 7ritish to prevent the 7oer

fighters from obtaining spplies dring the Anglo 7oer !ar3"

%er vision lasted for hors and plnged her into a state of deep depression"

.%owever,0 4rofessor 5an der !esthi'en said+ .#ever was there anyone who

cold correctly forecast on the same scale as #icolaas van $ensbrg did"0 The strggle against <apog and malaria

18<apog6 was chief of one of the black tribes3

In *== #icolaas van $ensbrg and his yonger brother went on commando

nder General 4iet (obert against <apog" Dring this period it showed clearly

that #icolaas van $ensbrg, being timid of character and having an antipathy

against violence, wold never gain fame as a warrior, bt his fellow commando

members never held this against him, for his integrity and warmheartedness

won him their love and respect, even at sch a yong age"

Dring this period on commando, which lasted from ctober *== ntil (ly

*==, he became ill with malaria and at times there was fear for his life" After a

long period of illness, and arriving back on the family farm, he retreated intohimself and did 7ible stdy for si2 months"

In December *==, dring a bsiness trip to !olma& ransstad, he met Annie

9rger, a good looking and placid daghter of a neighboring farmer" It was a

fleeting acaintance, bt on his way home #icolaas knew withot any dobt

that this was the woman he wold marry, and on =th (anary *==H, the cople

tied the knot" %is premonition that she was the one he shold marry was

correct, as she was one of very few people who nderstood him, for dring the

days when he retreated from his family to stdy his 7ible, she accepted it

withot protest" Dring their H years of marriage, she gave birth to ten children

and was a great comfort to him dring his times of an2iety after e2periencingvisions which cased him great distress" Althogh she was always in the

backgrond she was very prod of her hsband, bt she never reali'ed that he

was chosen by God to receive visions abot his people6s destiny which wold

be a gide to them in the difficlt and dark days to come"

Close family life

Seer 5an $ensbrg6s participation in the 7oer !ar and $ebellion of *>*H never

inflenced the close relationship between him and his family" Annie and the

children seldom spoke to otsiders, or e2pressed their views abot his visions,

bt Annie sometimes prodly annonced+ .<y hsband is a Seer""""0

E2cept for his third son, 9allie and eldest daghter %ester, his other children

never inherited the gift of prophesy" 9allie never actally e2perienced anyvisions, bt had the gift to interpret those of his father"

#ico& laas van $ensbrg for the first time on the th #ovember *>*H at a town

short of statre, with a long black beard, and had a stately contenance, alwayscarrying his 7ible nder his arm" I have never seen him smile; his calmness was

sch that his face was virtally e2pressionless"

Together with his son they accompanied the troops on a little open cart drawn

by mles" It is astonding how mch respect General 9emp and his troops

showed him" I estimated his age in the fifties, althogh his dignified condct

made him seem mch older" !hen he e2perienced a vision, he reconted this

by the Creator to assist the $ebels with advice" This was the reason why he

accepted all estions by the $ebels as part of his task" %e was a hmble and

poor farmer with @st enogh edcation enabling him to read the 7ible"0

Dr" C" ?ois ?eipoldt

1A well&known Afrikaans poet and athor3

The poet, dr" C" ?ois ?eipoldt6s view of the Seer was more scientific and

ob@ective" %is view was that, althogh the Seer was not well edcated and

withot any cltral backgrond, he had an inborn feeling for that which was

beatifl and he looked at life with the farsightedness of a poet" %e said abot

the Seer+ .%is rhapsodies came from a deep feeling from within, althogh hecold not, becase of a limited vocablary, totally e2press himself" %e sed one

word to e2press more than one meaning and repeated the same phrase with

slight modifications, not to emphasi'e the phrase, bt, as thogh he loved to

create association and rhythm"0

In the Afrikaans maga'ine, Die Huisgenoot of #ovember *>*, an anonymos

reader gave the following description of the Seer6s character and lifestyle+ .A

few weeks ago for of s specially went to visit old 8om6 #icolaas" %e lives in

an old style, flat roofed little hose, which is very elementary, bt very neat on

the whole" !hen we arrived he approached and greeted the visitors, of which

two were well&known to him, with dignity".ne immediately gets the feeling of being in the presence of somebody with a

profond personality" %is facial strctre, clear ble eyes, long beard, well

formed forehead and calmness all have a bearing on his character and

personality" As soon as we entered the little hose we were offered a cp of

coffee and after some conversation one of s asked the old prophet regarding

what lay ahead" At first he hesitated, bt after a while he started to talk abot

what he sees on the road ahead" %is way of e2pressing himself is by first

referring to some history from the 7oer !ar and how it came abot that he

became aware of his ability to foresee" Then slowly he will start talking abot

present sitations" !hile leaning on the table with his left arm, he wold slowly

and repeatedly toch his forehead and rb his beard and now and again hewold wipe the water from his eyes" It seems as if what he is telling yo creates

mental e2ertion" %e then said+ .#ot too far ahead, a thick black clod will

threaten or people, bt it will ickly pass and then there will be happiness



and well& being" All the plains of or contry will be dg p and ploghed and

here and there a few aloe trees will be left standing and weeping bitterly"0 1the

aloe trees, according to him, is the 7ritish Government3" .The English all move

to 9imberley and then I do not see them any more" The 87oers6 1Afrikaners3

also get together and those 1Afri& kaners3 who are among the English and other

enemies of ors, I see coming over and @oining s""""0

The writer then ends his article with the following pro& phecy of #icolaas+ .I

see Ireland being flng from a wagon 1England3 like a loose sheaf of corn"0 (ohannes <eint@es

(ohannes <eint@es, a well&known Soth African writer and painter, had another

interesting opinion regarding #icolaas and the people of his time"

According to the him the 87oers6 of the old $epblics were typical 7iblical

charactersBnot @st in appearance, bt also in their way of life which was

based on the will of God" (st like the 7iblical patriarchs, their whole way of

life was sb@ected to the !ill of God" (ohannes <eint@es saw in the langage

sed by #icolaas the same poetic speech in which the 7ible was written and is

the speech in which the 87oer6 prophet revealed his visions" %e e2plained this

as follows+ .As the years passed and #icolaas stdied his 7ible more and more,eventally his speech and description of his visions wold be delivered in rich

7iblical metaphor"0

ne can see many 1almost nbelievable3 parallels between the ancient Israelites

and the 7oer people" For e2ample+ The 5oortrekkers believed themselves to be

the Elect of God and even 4al 9rger, the 4resident of the Transvaal $epblic,

declared to his people+ .Ko are the children of God"0 %e said this on many

occasions as if he feared that his people wold forget who and what they were

and are"

The estion isBwhy did 4al 9rger believe this and why did he repeat it to

his people on so many occasions The only thing we know is that this trst in

the love and protection of God was what carried the 7oer nation throgh alltheir sfferings when on trek 1when they left the Cape Colony dring 7ritish

reign3 and strengthened them dring the Anglo&7oer !ar" The basis for their

belief as being the Elect of God can be seen in the parallel of the e2ods from

Egypt by the Israelites of old and the 7oer nation6s trek inland into the

wilderness from the Cape Colony"

ther e2amples are+

(st like <oses and Aaron, the 7oer leaders were men of God" God made a

Covenant with Israel to deliver them from their enemies 1Egyptians3, and lead

them into their promised land on condition they keep that specific day 1lHth day

of #isan3 from generation to generation as a remembrance of their delivery, andthat it mst be a feast day in honor of their God" In trn the 5oortrekkers

prayed to God and asked %im to deliver them from their enemies, the Mls, at

7lood $iver and made a Covenant with God that if %e helped them, they wold

keep this day as a Sabbath from generation to generation and wold bild a

temple in %is honor" This was the battle of 7lood $iver which occrred in the

lth of December *>="

n their arrival in the promised land, Israel bilt a temple in honor of God"

The 5oortrekkers, when they arrived in their promised land , also bilt a Chrch

and monment" 1the Chrch of the Covenant in 4ietermarit'brg and

5oortrekker monment in 4retoria3" Since the battle of 7lood $iver the Day of

the 5ow 1covenant3 has been kept by the 7oers" This %oly day has now beenabolished to appease the heathens in the .new Soth Africa"0



Dring the Anglo&7oer !ar an incident occrred which was so identical to the

Israelites6 e2ods from Egypt that it became known as .4haraoh6s $ed Sea0

among the brghers"

Today there are many Afrikaners 1the Seer called them 8@ingoes63 who, nder

foreign pressre, agree that the Day of the Covenant shold be abolished"

#icolaas van $ens& brg have foreseen this happening in one of his visions on

=th Febrary, *>" In this vision he saw that one of or ftre Governments

wold hand over power to aliens and that it wold happen as a reslt of the factthat this ftre Government wold sccmb to pressre from the !est instead

of following the !ill of their God"

God has made a Covenant with only two nations, Israel of old and the 7oer

nation" Is it therefore a coincidence that Israel of old and the 7oer nation of

today were and are the two most hated nations in history Africa and the !est

have been more lenient towards evil Commnism than towards the 7oer nation"

#icolaas even foresaw this worldwide campaign of hate/

Incense holders and sheep droppings

(ohannes <eint@es compared #icolaas with (ohn who wrote $evelation, and it

is very interesting to compare some of the symbols sed by both in theirvisions" It is also significant that many of the symbols sed by both prophets

were part of their everyday lives; the plant and animal kingdoms, the heavens,

standard tensils and their own environments"

(ohn+ The sn becomes black as a hairy sack and the moon becomes like blood"

%e sees angels holding the for winds of the earth; he sees an incense holder

from which voices, thnderclaps, lightning bolts and earthakes are flng ot"

Then locsts with the appearance of horses and faces of men appear; there were

horses with heads of lions with fire, smoke and brimstone emitting from their

moths" %e sees a red dragon with seven heads and ten horns; also a serpent

from whose moth water spots and a woman with the wings of an eagle

fleeing from the dragon" Then he saw a <an monted on a pre white horse,clothed with a vestment dipped in blood and from whose moth emerged a

sharp two&edged sword to smite the nations"""

The Seer: In the pictres that appear dring om #icolaas6 moments of

clairvoyance, blls and rams of different colors storm each other and there are

often broken bones and horns" !agons drawn by o2en of different colors rattle

past; birds fly ot of the moths of states, springbok rn over a scorched piece

of earth in Eastern Erope and in the !est the earth is ploghed asnder" From

the soth swine come rnning and sddenly change into people" A yong Irish

maiden becomes an adlt in the twinkling of an eye" Sheep droppings fall ot of

a large barrel and the whole of the earth changes into a place covered in sheep

droppings only" A stretch of aloe plants moves towards the north; in the north&

west a bcket of blood falls over and spills and he sees the flag of the Boer

nation being dipped in blood and this blood&flag then flies over a free 7oer

nation"

them long after his father6s death" 9allie died in *>, and althogh he was no

her sister, Aletta, spoke abot their elder brother6s 8gift of interpretation6 for the

.If only or brother was still living0, they proclaimed to a @ornalist, 1the late3

Even thogh 5an $ensbrg6 other children cold not interpret or nderstand all

his visions, they cold talk for hors abot what their father saw" 4articlarly

his two daghters, Anna 7adenhorst and ?etta 7otha"

Dring their last interview with the @ornalist, 9oos van der <erwe, Anna told

of the following vision her father 8saw6 @st before the $ebellion of *>*H" The

vision was abot 5an $ensbrg and 9erneels #iewenhis standing in the dark

at 4ark Station, (ohannesbrg and looking at a brown colored block being

rolled ot in front of them" All of a sdden the darkness disappeared and it became bright with light and they were then standing in front of a bilding

which had barred windows"

Everything happened accordingly" Dring (anary l>*) the $ebels laid down

their arms at Jpington and Seer and the officers of the $ebels were sent to the

Fort at 7oks& brg" The Seer was imprisoned there and fond his cell& mate to

be someone with the srname of #iewenhis" They became very good friends

and 9erneels #iewen& his wrote down all the visions the Seer e2perienced

while in prison" The ama'ing fact is that the Seer recogni'ed the bilding with

the barred windows as the prison he had seen in his vision" %e also foresaw

their release 1the sdden bright light and recogni'ing the bilding from the

otside3"%e did not e2perience many visions in which his children were directly

involved" Ket dring the Anglo&7oer !ar he said that two of his daghters

wold die of measles in the concentration camp at <afeking 1<afikeng3 after



they, as well as their two other sisters and grandparents, were taken captive by

the English in *>-*"

Forteen years after that vision, he had another one in which he saw his eldest

son, !illem (akobs, lying on the wrong side of his coat" %e described this

vision to <r" 7oy <ssmann and his brother6s son and added that this was a

bad omen" 7t the vision of the death of his two little daghters in the

concentration camp wold affect him deeply years later"

<rs" <aria (ames, the granddaghter of 5an $ensbrg tells the story+

The grass stands high and yellow

.Dring the Anglo&7oer !ar in the year *>-*, my grandfather6s eldest son, the

late ncle !illie, together with my grandmother and two of her yonger

children fled from their farm $ietkil in my grandfather6s horse&drawn cart and

linked p with the camp of a certain <r" ?e $o2" This camp was made p of

wagons with women, children and elderly people" They camped the night on a

farm, !itpoort, which lay to the north&east of $ietkil"

.The ne2t morning as it became light, they were overpowered and taken captive

by the English officers and traitors 1#ational Scots3" The horse&drawn carts

and ees& trians escaped" 4art of this grop that escaped were my grandfather,the Seer, my grandmother, Annie, and their daghter Aletta, who later became

<rs" 7otha" %owever the wagons with the women and children were taken

captive and taken to ttosdal, then known as 9orannafon& tein" At ttosdal all

their belongings were brnt and they were escorted in open wagons to the

concentration camp at <afikeng"

.Grandfather6s son, !illie, who herded the sheep and cattle otside the camp,

managed to escape and stay ot of enemy hands"

.Grandfather saw all this happening in a visionBhe saw my mother 1%ester

Coert'e3 standing alone and a bstard 1symbol of a type of wild peacock,

depicting treason3 walking all arond her and the grass stood high and

yellow"""0 1A sign of impending danger3" #ot long after, two of his daghters in the concentration camp wold appear in

a vision again" This was in ctober of the same year when he saw Anna 9atrina

and <aria Eli'abeth, together with his deceased sister standing on a ladder" %e

then knew that they were going to die"

The deaths of his two little daghters was one of the most tramatic e2periences

of his lifetime" %e had difficlty in coming to terms with this and morned their

deaths for a long time" 7t these same two daghters, Anna 9atrina and <aria

Eli'abeth wold appear in a vision for the third time precisely - years later"

A family friend tells the story

The Seer was not so shy that he cold be described as being nsociable" %eloved people and his knowledge of hman natre was e2tensive, according to

8Tant6 1ant3 ?etta" The fact that he had the gift of foresight also helped"

.The idea that 5an $ensbrg was of sombre character was totally wrong0, said

<r" (" ?ategan, a friend of the 5an $ensbrg family" .I became a friend of 5an

$ensbrg after his release from prison in (ohannesbrg in *>*" Dring the

ne2t ten years ntil his death in *> an intimate friendship grew between or

families" Althogh we belonged to different chrches, 5an $ensbrg being a

member of the $eformed Chrch and we were members of the Dtch $eformed

Chrch, he and his wife, 8Tant6 Annie, always stayed over at or hose dring

the time of %oly Commnion" !henever they came to town they stayed at or

home" In this way we got to know and appreciate him and 8Tant6 Annie assincere Christians and rgged Afri& kaners; people on whom Chrch and nation

cold always rely, and nothing wold ever entice them to divert from the ways

of their nation"



.5an $ensbrg never took mch notice of political talk and wold ietly sit

and listen while people were engaged in sch argments" Sometimes he wold

only nod his head when he agreed with someone" 7t, whenever people started

talking abot the 7oer nation, or abot religion, he wold enthsiastically @oin

in the conversation" ne Sn& day, @st after Chrch, while sitting at the table,

5an $ens& brg dominated the conversation for over an hor" In his soft, almost

msical voice he spoke so entertainingly that we @st sat listening" %e spoke

abot the reforms that wold take place in or contry and how the 7oer nationwold trek northwards in their thosands"

(ore will be said about these visions and their interpretations in chapters !!"

!#$ %ome of these visions are so current that they could have appeared in this

morning&s newspaper'$

.5an $ensbrg may have been a simple and not highly edcated farmer, bt

was one of the most interesting people I have ever met,0 said <r" ?ategan"

The Seer6s seventh child, 8tant6 ?etta, remembers people visiting them at their

farm $ietkil and trying to take advantage of her father6s kind&heartedness, bt

he had no troble in spotting sch fradsters"

!hen she was twelve years old, after the normal family prayer gathering, herfather made the following remark+ .I see a tree with green foliage and then a

branch growing conter to the others, break and fall to the grond" This branch

immediately started growing stronglyBa new political party" 7t the old tree

started to wither and die"0

A year after this vision General %ert'og walked ot of the cabinet of General

?ois 7otha" This led to the formation of the #ational 4arty"

The visions did not often distrb Seer, bt there were occasions when he

became so agitated that he felt compelled to talk abot them, or went otside to

find solitde in the veld"

Dring the afternoon of * <ay *>*, 5an $ensbrg came into the hose after

work and reested his daghter, Anna, to fetch writing materials" She wrotedown the visions in a school e2ercise book"

Seer dictated the following+ I see a pig lying down in Erope with its head

facing !est" The pig is being scraped clean with a sharp knife" The light is

fading and I see the pig being hng p in the Jnion"L 1The Jnion of Soth

Africa3"

!hen she wanted to know from him what this vision meant, he told her it

indicated the advent of the Afrikaner capitalist whose property he saw as being

abhorrent"

Soth AfricaBthe one with the crly golden hair

ne of the most interesting visions 5an $ensbrg e2perienced and interpretedhimself, was of three little girls lying ne2t to each other in a cradle" ne had

long black hair and ble eyes, the other one was dark of skin and the last one

had crly golden hair" The one with black hair and ble eyes grew more rapidly

than the others" Then the dark skinned one ne2t became strong, and lastly the

one with the golden crly hair" 5an $ensbrg e2plained that this vision had to

do with contries receiving their independence from Great 7ritain" %e

e2plained that the black haired, ble eyed one is Ireland, the dark skinned one,

India, and that the golden crly haired one, was Soth Africa" %e said that these

contries wold receive their independence accordingly"

(st before her death in *>=*, 5an $ensbrg6s daghter Anna, made an

interesting remark" She said she remembered her father saying that the contrywhich will win the war in the far ftre 1Third !orld !ar3 wold have to have

Germany as an ally"



A vision 5an $ensbrg had abot a dark clod coming from the East, creeping

over Erope and eventally covering Erope in darkness only became clear

long after his death" %e told his son, 9allie, this vision had to do with the rise

of Commnism in Erope"

$ssia and China are the contries orchestrating the infiltration of Commnism

into Erope and the !est as well as in Soth Africa" Jntil recently Soth Africa

was the only contry where Commnism was banned in terms of law" The Seer

had the following vision which clearly indicated the important roles of Chinaand $ssia+

The Second !ar of Freedom



!ith the otbreak of the Second !ar of Freedom, #icolaas van $ensbrg6s gift

of prophecy came to it6s fllest, bt simltaneosly his life also became a

nightmare" %e acknowledged that it was terrible for him, as he had to endre

the war twiceBfirstly throgh his visions, followed by reality" !hat he saw in

the ftre was enogh to spiritally break even a strong man"

Together with his brother, 4ieter, he was called p to @oin the commando of

Field&General D Toit" The !estern Transvaal commandos were nder

command of General 4iet Cron@e, assisted by General 9oos de la $ey as hisadvisor"

After General Cron@e6s commando was srronded on the montain at

<agersfontein, General Christiaan de !et sent Danie Theron throgh the

English colmns to advise General Cron@e that he wold shoot a path open at a

certain spot throgh which General Cron@e cold escape with his H,--- men"

%owever, Cron@e did not see his way ot and all were taken prisoner, e2cept

#icolaas van $ensbrg and a few other men who escaped, risking their lives"

They were then placed nder command of General De !et"

I am sending yo the prophet #icolaas

That night at Tangs, 1a little town in 7otswana3, 5an $ensbrg held a prayermeeting for his fellow commandos" %e was very tired and went to bed early"

Dring the night he sddenly awoke, feeling a strange pressre in his head" It

was so intense that it made him di''y" Closing his eyes and holding his head in

his hands he did not know, nor realise what was happening to him" %e woke his

brother, 4ieter, and told him that he was afraid" 4ieter thoght it to be only a

nightmare and went back to sleep" Frightened, and not knowing what was

happening to him, #icolaas left their tent and walked into the veld" The

pressre in his head took hold of him again and he then lay down on the grond

and closed his eyes" After closing his eyes he became aware of milling clods in

front of them, which then became denser" %e thoght it to be a storm brewing,

bt the clods sddenly disappeared and he saw a plain in front of him" !hat hethen 8saw6 that night made him think he was losing his mind" At snrise when

the commandos started to mont p, Field&cornet (an van !yk noticed that

#icolaas van $ensbrg was missing" Some of the men then started searching

for him" After a while, they fond him lying beneath a bsh like a frightened

child" %is hair was tosled, his face dirty and streaked with tear marks and his

clothes tattered and dirty"

Some of the men fond this hilarios and laghed at him, for to them he looked

like a lot" #icolaas did not say a word and despite his appearance he was very

calm" It was only Field&cornet (an van !yk 1who later married 5an $ensbrg6s

sister3 who saw #icolaas6 red eyes and bloodied chewed nails and realised he

mst have gone throgh a terrible e2perience"

The yong Field&cornet waited ntil they were alone in camp and asked 5an

$ensbrg+ .6om6 9lasie, what happened last night0

!hat #icolaas van $ensbrg told him was so terrifying that Field&cornet 5an

!yk refsed to believe him"

Everything covered nder smoke and flames

5an !yk reported the incident to General De la $ey and to his srprise the

general reested that he fetch #icolaas" 5an $ensbrg then told the general

abot the vision he had" 1I ote him verbatim3+ .General, last night I saw

something terrifying" !e will be going to 9imberley, bt we will not stay there

very long" I got this feeling that we were riding again, sothwards" Then thevision appeared+ I saw or men fleeing across a blackened earth" Then I saw or

wives and children bndled together in hndreds and thosands" I can still hear

the children crying" The women were also filled with despair and grief and as



they were being herded and driven, I saw or homes and lands go p in flames

from hori'on to hori'on" Everything was covered in smoke and flames"""

General, it was terrifying"0

!hen he had finished speaking, General De la $ey rbbed his hand across his

face and mrmred+ .<ay God keep s safe/ $etrn to yor men for we have to

ride" If yo see something again, please tell me immediately" 7e carefl who

yo talk to abot this, for the men will not believe yo and only lagh at yo"

7t come to me"""0(an van !yk walked a little way with 5an $ensbrg and then asked him+

.6om6 9lasie, does this mean that we are going to lose the war And what will

the English do with or women and children !hy will or homes and farms be

brned !hat does all this mean0

#icolaas van $ensbrg only shrgged his sholders for he was still too shocked

and dmbfonded to think clearly"

.I hope it was only a nightmare and nothing else,0 (an van !yk said before

they parted"

%owever, what neither he nor the General realised, was that the 8prophet6

#icolaas van $ensbrg was born that night at Tangs on the *th ctober,*=>>" This vision came only five days after the otbreak of the war and at that

stage not even the English soldiers cold have dream& ed of the horrors the

scorched&earth policy and mrder camps lanched by ?ords $oberts and

9itchener wold reslt in"

(.rom then until the end of the war in 012!3 more than !4 222 old people3

women and children would die and more than 45 222 houses and .arms

destroyed by arson'$

#icolaas6 battle against Satan

!hat few people knew at the time was that throghot his lifetime #icolaas

van $ensbrg had been waging his own personal war against Satan" To him

Satan was real and he constantly felt this evil force snapping at his heels"

%is first physical contact with Satan occrred that night at Tangs when he saw

the vision of tortre and death of thosands of women and children in a war

only @st begn between 7oer and 7rit"

Abot what actally happened dring those midnight hors, 5an $ensbrg said+

.I went to bed and fell asleep" Dring the early morning hors I sddenly woke

p" I then saw a vision to this side" 1indicating sothwards3" !e were among

thorn trees srronded by troops" I then trned to the other side" From the west I

saw many women and children coming, and they were fleeing" I saw the whole

of that part of the earth was blackened" I saw vast destrction over the whole

contry" <y an2iety became so great that I wanted to flee into the wilderness to be alone and not retrn" <y thoghts became confsed and sddenly I knew

that satanic powers were trying to destroy me" That was when I hid nder the

bsh where (an van !yk and the others fond me" General 9oos de la $ey then

sent me home to recover" At my farm $ietkil, I cold not settle down" <y

heart was restless and shortly afterwards I left to re@oin the commando"

%owever, I was fighting a greater battle against the devil than against the

English" Satan was attempting to drive me back to the desert to kill myself in

the wilderness+ 0becase,0 he said to me+ .everyone laghs at yor visions and

nobody will ever believe yo/0

I drove him away, bt every time he retrned; at times he was grey in color

and at other times he was black" A hideos being that did not appear hman" Formany days I wrestled with him before he finally went away" I then had an

lcerated hand and was hospitali'ed at 7oshoff" I was really ill with this hand,



cosin/0 1The term 8cosin6 was commonly sed among Afrikaners to address

each other3"

The devil wold often still waylay and torment him, bt #icolaas wold never

again have any dobts abot the sense and meaning of his spernatral gift" It

placed him on a more intimate footing with his people and strengthened his

love for his contry" As servant and prophet this gift was from God and had to

be sed in service of his people, the 7oer nation" %e sed the 7ible more often

instead of his visions to bring consolation and hope to his people dring thewar"

In later life, when a friend asked him whether the devil was still tormenting

him, he replied+ .Kes, my friend, he will not change, bt as long as I cling to my

God, %is word and my people, I will remain standing"""0

5an $ensbrg was sent home to recover shortly after his vision at Tangs" %e

was a physical wreck and athorities are of the opinion that he never flly

recovered from his shocking e2perience"

It comforted him to know that the general believed him, bt it was not enogh"

The pain and heartache over the dark ftre of his people cold not alleviate it"

The image of fleeing women, and children in particlar, wold still hant himfor many years afterwards"

%is long standing friendship with General 9oos de la $ey began at Tangs" The

general never forgot their first conversations" .!ho wold ever have thoght

this at the otbreak of hostilities0 he wrote later" .#o wonder the brgers

thoght #icolaas was insane" %owever, he was not insane"0

Dring the nearly three years of war, 5an $ensbrg6s spernatral gift fond its

greatest e2pression" ne reason why more people began believing in him was

the fact that General de la $ey took him seriosly" Althogh a military genis,

De la $ey was also a pacifist, a man who, in principle, was firmly opposed

against all violence of war"

The field preacher Dring most of part the war, 5an $ensbrg remained with the commando of

General De la $ey" 7ecase preachers and doctors became very scarce dring

that time, he often led the chrch services himself" $ather than firing at the

enemy, he preferred preaching to the 7oers and giving them moral spport

which they often sorely needed" %e started filling the shoes of a minister and

many people were impressed by his vast 7iblical knowledge"

%owever, there were others who regarded Seer6s gift with scepticism" Initially

both 4resident <"T" Steyn and General ("7"<" %ert'og wanted nothing to do

with him" %owever, they rapidly changed their tne after meeting the Seer as

gests of De la $ey" %e 1the Seer3 came to warn De la $ey that the twostatesmen shold leave rgently as the enemy was advancing to take them

prisoner" Steyn and %ert'og thoght this a @oke, bt 9oos de la $ey was so

insistent they listen to the Seer, they finally agreed to do so"

<ore than ten years later, when answering estions pt by the Chosen

Committee investigating the *>*H $ebellion, General %ert'og elaborated on

what happened on that specific day"

Today it is still an enigma and miracle how a handfl of 7oers cold harass the

whole 7ritish army throghot the contry" In all probability #icolaas van

$ensbrg played no small part in these events" %e often foresaw the English

movements and cold isse a warning to the commanders"

.!e mst move camp,0 he wold annonce ot of the ble+ .for the Englishwill arrive at dawn/0 5irtally every time he was right" %e also predicted the

arrival of messengers correctly" .General mst remain here for a few hors



more" I see two men on white and brown horses, bearing a letter"0 The

messengers wold indeed arrive with important news"

Throgh the 8$ed Sea6

Certain parallels between the 7oers and Israelites have previosly been

mentioned" In the same manner the Israelites passed throgh the $ed Sea,

General de !et and his men fled before the enemy throgh a fll riverB

prsed by the English, who were hot on their heels" %owever, something

occrred which General de !et cold not e2plain to his dying day"

General de !et himself admitted that he and his men were often assisted by

#icolaas6 personal messages and:or warnings in evading the English forces in

the nick of time"

ne of the most miraclos visions the Seer ever e2perienced concerned

General de !et shortly before the death of Danie Theron in September *>--

when the general and his men were forced to resign" Kears later the well&known

$everend ("%" ?obser accrately wrote it down and safegarded it"

$everend ?obser otes General de !et+ .n one occasion between for

hndred to si2 hndred men and I were caght in a heavy rainstorm where the

Caledon and range $ivers meet and we were trapped in a corner by theEnglish" nce or twice my men managed to drive them back, bt it soon

became obvios that the English were getting the pper hand" In fact, I heard

later that a message annoncing that 8old dirty De !et6 was captred, had

already been sent to England"

.I realised we were in a hopeless sitation and was strongly tempted to raise the

white flag" %owever, while standing there ndecidedly, a soaked and bloodied

Danie Theron stmbled or of the bshes" %e had @st swm across the river

from Transvaal with a letter from General De la $ey"

.9oos de la $ey wrote that the Seer was with him and said he had 8seen6 that

my men and I wold be in sch serios troble that we wold consider

srrendering".%owever, De la $ey wrote, I mst not be afraid, the ?ord will provide"

#icolaas says there is a large rock on my side of the Caledon" <y men and I

mst enter the water at that spot, regardless of how high the river was rnning"

!e mst head straight across to where a marla tree is standing" According to

De la $ey, the Seer added that even the horses6 bellies wold not get wet, for

the ?ord wold be with s" !e wold find a grop of sleeping Englishmen on

the opposite side"

.!e actally fond the rock, bt my men thoght it sheer madness to try and

cross the river and I had to lay in& to them with my s@ambok 1a type of whip3

before they wold saddle p" Danie Theron, who had meanwhile been attendedto and provided with clean clothing and a horse, entered the river with s"

.To my ama'ement we all crossed safely and the water did not even toch the

horses6 bellies, for there was a high sand bank e2actly where #icolaas had said

we shold cross over" n the other side we fond the sleeping 7ritish and fired

on them so heavily that they fled in confsion" <eanwhile the English on the

opposite side were crossing the river on or tracks" They were abot halfway

when something happened that I cannot e2plain" Sddenly all those soldiers and

their horses began disappearing nder the water, @st like 4haraoh and his men

at the $ed Sea, and several hndred drowned in the Caledon $iver that day"

.All I can srmise is that the sand bank which had spported s, mst have

washed away from nder them" Jndobtedly the ?ord sent Danie Theron to mewith #ico& laas6 message that day/0

4resident <"T" Steyn and the 4rophet



#ot long after this incident, General De !et and -- of his men were encamped

on a farm near %eilbron and <emel" For more than a week they never

encontered any 7ritish forces" Dring the corse of one afternoon, abot three

or for o6clock, they noticed a clod of dst far down the road" It was president

<"T" Steyn and 8om6 #icolaas van $ensbrg arriving in a spider&bggy" They

broght a letter written by General 9oos de la $ey to General De !et" The

message read+ .I am sending 4resident Steyn and the Seer to yo, for I believe

yo are encamped in a safe place" The English are on to s and I thoght it bestto send them to yo to enable them to rest a while"0

n their arrival on the farm, $oodewal, 4resident Steyn lay down in the bggy

while General %ert'og, 1who had meanwhile also arrived3, read to him from the

book 6uo Vadis" The Seer decided to stroll arond the farmyard and then

started talking to <r" (ack 7rebner, secretary to 4resident Steyn, where he was

resting on his saddle" Sddenly 7rebner called ot+ .4resident, yo have to

listen to what 5an $ensbrg has to say/0 4resident Steyn called the Seer over,

who told him that he was seeing a nmber of white flags and strange looking

hoses ne2t to a ditch" .4resident0, he said, pointing towards 9roonstad" .Two

horsemen are coming, one on a black and the other on a white horse"0

The horsemen dly arrived, carrying a letter from acting 4resident Schalk

7rger of the Transvaal Government, for 4resident Steyn"

Dring a follow p visit 5an $ensbrg, in the presence of General %ert'og and

4resident Steyn, advised General De la $ey he had seen a vision of 7ritish

troops arriving on the farm very early the ne2t morning, before the rising of the

morning star" n hearing this, General De la $ey immediately ordered his men

to mont p and sent 4resident Steyn and 5an $ensbrg ahead in the spider"

Jnfortnately two of General De la $ey6s second in command did not heed

this warning and remained on the farm" The following day General De !et

received a message confirming the arrival of the 7ritish troops, as well as the

captre of the two ad@tants"ne Snday afternoon abot si2 months before his death, General Christiaan de

!et told a %ollander of Dewetsdorp, <r" Cornelis 9rger+ .Do yo see 9rger,

it was not I, nor General De ?a $ey who was so brave; it was the %and of

God/0

General De !et e2pressed himself as follows regarding his trst in 5an

$ensbrg6s visions+ .There are many people who do not believe what the Seer

says, bt the same living God in the time of Israel, is still living" It was not I

who was sch a great warrior; no, it was the work of God who strengthened me

throgh the Seer"

In contrast to General 9emp, who was always relctant to give credit to 5an

$ensbrg6s e2ceptional gift to see events beforehand, Generals De !et and

9oos de la $ey nreservedly did so at all times"

ne day, when General De !et and his men arrived at a small stream near

Sannaspos to camp there, the Seer immediately warned him that a 7ritish force

was approaching from 7loemfontein, especially to srprise and captre him at

this place" General De !et immediately heeded this warning and hid his men"

#ot long after, the 7ritish arrived" The general and his men disarmed them,

stripped them stark naked and sent them back to 7loemfontein to tell the story

there/

Is my hose still standing 8om6 9lasie

Dring the war many of the men soght comfort from 5an $ensbrg, for theyaccepted that he cold 8see6 into the ftre" They wold ask+ .8om6, is my

home still standing, or has it been brnt down0 .!here are my wife and

children0 .Is my son still alive0 There were many worrying estions and it



seemed that 5an $ensbrg nderstood these peoples6 needs and fears and he

tried to help them"

%owever, he always answered hesitantly as he did not want to pset his

comrades and interpreted what he saw in sch a manner that they were

comforted"

Dring those dark, sad times, the Seer6s nderstanding and sympathy served as

inspiration for his people" This alone is already sfficient reason to honor his

memory" Throghot the years of war he lived closely to his people; associatedwith them on a more intimate footing than previosly and this deepened his

love for his contry and his people even more" %e served his people ot of love,

and his gift was a gift from God in service of the 7oer nation"

It wold fill a book with hndreds of pages to e2plain and interpret all the

visions of this old 7oer prophet" Jnfortnately not all the visions and

predictions he saw dring the !ar of Freedom were preserved, and 7oers who

foght in that war are no longer living" Those we do know of were those visions

which were passed on by traditional word of moth" The rest which he saw

from day to day were never written down"

General De la $ey once said+ .If ever a book is written abot the old Seer, itwold be one of the most interesting contribtions towards the literatre of the

history of the !ar of Freedom"0

It has been said by certain historians that the Seer advised General De la $ey

regarding military strategies" This was never the case, for the Seer had virtally

no military e2perience and wold never have interfered" The most important

aspect of 5an $ensbrg6s advice was that he cold 8see6 the strength of nmbers

of a 7ritish force and from which direction they were advancing" Sch

information then was sed be General De la $ey to plan his strategy"

Some of the commanders ignored #icolaas6 warnings, often with disastros

reslts" %owever, generally the Seer6s word was law" #icolaas always remained

hmble and never enforced his warnings on his seniors or the brghersBhemerely passed them on as timely warnings" It never occrred to him to show

pride abot his wonderfl gift"

!hen 5an $ensbrg spoke, everyone fell silent and listened" Then he wold tell

of his strange visions; visions of battles between blesbck blls, rams and blls;

visions of blood and sieves and ploghs; of black crtains, pails, white papers,

black morning crepe, flowers, ropes, the sn, moon, stars and comets; and

visions of flags, sickles and bricks"

4erhaps Almighty God ordained that the old Seer6s visions, wold not only be

noted down by his daghter, bt also to live forth by word of moth, for or

history has repeated itself *-- years laterBthe 7oer nation is once again livingin that smelting&oven of oppression, distress and devastation"""

Saddle pBnsaddle/

<r" ("("<" Keats, of (an 9empdorp wrote+ .<y late father 1a Field&cornet in

General de la $ey6s commando3 said not long after the English occpied

9lerks& dorp in <arch *>-, General de !et decided to reoccpy the town" %is

commando arrived at a spot close to 9lerks& dorp in the early part of evening

and wold camp there for the night" Everyone, e2cept 5an $ensbrg, off&

saddled, bt he remained seated" Father asked+ 0!hat nowL %e replied+ .?ook,

the English are advancing straight at s from 9lerksdorp"0 Father believed him,

as did General De la $ey, who ordered Father and two other men to go and

determine whether the English were really on their way" The rest of the menwere ordered to immediately saddle p again and wait on their horses ntil my

father and his companions retrned"



Father and the two scots rode a short distance towards the town when they

spotted the English commando, bt they were moving away from them towards

9lerksdorp" After following the enemy for some distance they trned arond,

satisfied that no Englishman wold dare show his face near the camp that night"

n reaching the commando again they were srprised to see that everyone,

e2cept 5an $ensbrg, had saddled p again, ready to leave ickly" 5an

$ensbrg, however, rested against a tree&trnk while his horse was cropping

grass a short distance away" Father asked the Seer what this meant, pon whichthe old man stroked his beard and replied+ .Ko see, cosin, shortly after yo

left, I saw the English troops trn arond, so I off&saddled" This lot did not want

to believe me" Ko can also off&saddle now" !e will enter 9lerksdorp tomorrow

withot having to fire a single shot"0 It happened e2actly as the Seer said+ the

7oers did not find a single Englishman in the town/

The beginning of his grief

The Seer once said to a friend+ .A great responsibility rests on my sholders"0

Then he oted from 4salm =+ .Give ear, my people, to my law; incline

yor ears to the words of my moth" I will open my moth in a parable; I will

tter dark sayings of old+ !hich we have heard and known, and or fathershave told s" !e will not hide them from their children; shewing to the

generation to come the praises of the ?ord, and %is strength, and %is wonderfl

works that %e hath done"""0

The Seer indeed spoke in parables and riddles and his nation seldom listenedB

or perhaps they did not want to listen" $ight to the end of the war the Seer was

treated with a degree of contempt and anger by some of the brghers" n one

occasion they even forced him to 8ride o2&hide6 as pnishment for the so&called

8visions6 with which he naggingly tormented the 7oers" ("F" van !yk said+ .%e

15an $ensbrg3 8saw6 far too many fierce blls which posed danger for or

commando, and those blls also meant nothing as we cold not even slaghter

them" The 8war& concil6 fond the Seer gilty and he had to ride o2&hide"The skin of a freshly&killed beast was sed for this prpose" It was pt down on

the grond with the hair side p and si2 elongated holes 1large enogh to insert

two hands3 were ct in on either side" Twelve men stood arond the hide and

#icolaas was told to lie down on it" The twelve then lifted the hide, plling it

tat" They threw #icolaas high into the airBfive times in sccession"

It was a dangeros game, bt the Seer accepted it with a good&natred,

embarrassed smile"

The reason for the brghers6 hostility started in ctober *=>> when the Seer

told General 9oos de la $ey that the 7oers wold not only lose the war and the

English flag hoisted in 7loemfontein and 4retoria, bt that hndreds of 7oer

hoses wold be torched, farms plndered and women and children wold be

captred and taken away" Some of the Seer6s comrades were so incensed by

these predictions that they threatened to shoot him; they bran& ded him a

coward, said he was insane and an ppermost traitor"

%owever, despite all this, and his own shock and dismay at the frightening

vision, Seer van $ensbrg silently endred their accsations and hostility" %is

comradeship and patience towards them never altered; even after that same

vision became reality more than a year later"

Throghot the war the salvation, welfare and safety of his people were all that

mattered to himBso mch so that he never mentioned a word to anybody abot

the sffering he and his family e2perienced dring the dark times of the war andthe $ebellion"

Early one night in (anary *>-*, he and some family members stayed with a

farmer, !illem 7osman, in the !olmaransstad area" !hile drinking coffee the



following morning, the Seer sddenly held p his right hand and placing his left

hand over his eyes, he sat staring ahead a long time" %e trned to the farmer

and said+

.!illem, I see three cows coming down the road five miles away from

9lerksdorp on the other side of the montain" They will be here before snset"

They seem dead tired, e2hasted and rgently in need of attention"0

The farmer6s wife laghed and mockingly told her hsband that 5an $ensbrg

probably had his eye on the cows which had been missing for a month already"%owever, !illem 7osman and someone else rode away to go and look for the

cows" Five miles on the other side of the montain they fond three emaciated,

terrified women fleeing from the English soldiers" 7ack at the 7osman

homestead, they told an appalling story+

The seer6s children go to the death camp

Some days after re@oining General de la $ey6s commando, he saw a vision in

which five of his children were captred by the English and he, his wife and theother two children remaining behind" n hearing this, General 9oos de la $ey

permitted 5an $ensbrg to retrn to $ietkil to safegard his family" Arriving

home, the Seer first went to warn his parents, 1who were living in the original

hose at $ietkil3 as well as some of the neighboring farmers to leave the area

immediately, as the English were on their way to plnder their homes and

captre their women and children"

nly a few neighbors and one or two friends believed 5an $ensbrg and they

started preparing to leave their farms"

!ith assistance from a friend, the 5an $ensbrg6s frnitre and other

possessions were stored in one room which was then sealed with an additional

clay wall on the inside" This little storeroom was so cnningly bilt that nlessone knew of its e2istence, the plastered partition cold be mistaken for an

inside wall"

?ate that afternoon while the women were preparing spper for the children,

they received a message that the English soldiers were advancing towards

$ietkil and they had to make a hasty departre" 5an $ensbrg, his wife and

eldest son, !illie and two daghters fled into the veld in their horse&drawn cart,

driving their cattle ahead of them" Their eldest daghter, %ester, the other for

children and their grandparents, accompanied by other farmers6 wives,

attempted to flee towards !olmaransstad in o2&wagons" Two of 5an $ensbrg6s

sisters&in&law, <esdames #onnie van !yk and %annie Claasen, were amongthis grop" #onnie van !yk was the wife of Field&cornet (an van !yk, who

was present at Tangs dring the early years of the war when the Seer saw the

vision of destrction and the end of the war" It was he who took the 7oer

prophet to General de la $ey"

The two children accompanying the Seer and his wife began crying from

hnger, bt there was no time to stop and feed them" They fled throghot the

night" At dawn when #icolaas re@oined the refgees, he was told how some of

the wagons 1among those being his own and that of <rs" van !yk3 got lost in

the dark and went in another direction"

9ill the chickens/

This grop also inclded a neighbor6s wife, <rs" Ssara Gertrida Steyn, andher children" Kears later <rs" Steyn told her grand&daghter, ?ynette 7aird, of

their e2perience" She said after two days of fleeing they, together with 5an

$ensbrg and family arrived at the homestead of an elderly farmer" The hose



was bilt against a high ridge" The farmer invited them to stay for the night"

The old Seer immediately asked whether he had any chickens" !hen the farmer

asked why, 5an $ensbrg answered+ .Shoot the dogs and slaghter all yor

chickens/0

The farmer stared at him in srprise and 5an $ensbrg had to repeat what he

said, adding+ .English troops will arrive here tonight and I see them passing

very close to the hose" The dogs will start barking, the chickens will make a

noise and we will all be captred"07t the farmer did not want to know anything and refsed point blank to obey

the Seer6s orders" %owever, #icolaas persisted and eventally persaded his

host to do as he was ordered"

<rs" Steyn clearly recalls that the night was clear with a fll moon and from

inside the darkened hose they observed a nmber of monted English slowly

passing along the base of the ridge"

5an $ensbrg and company left the following morning to contine the search

for the rest of his family and parents" ?ater dring the day they encontered a

7oer commando closely following the English and the men told him that the

wagons which were lost had fallen into enemy hands near 9orannafontein 1laterrenamed ttosdal3" The English initially took the women, old people and

children to 9orannafontein and brnt their wagons that same night" the Seer6s

parents, for children and Annie6s sisters were sent to the concentration camp at

<afikeng in open wagons"

The driver of the wagon on which the Seer6s daghter, %ester, rode, was

nicknamed 8Good man6 becase he had five year old ?etta placed in the care of

her sister, %ester"

Filled with an2iety and sorrow, the Seer re@oined his commando" %e already

had a premonition that this was @st the beginning of the triblations he and his

family wold have to bear"

In the mrder campsIn the concentration camp, caring for her two brothers and two sisters fell on

the sholders of his *&year old daghter, %ester" Daily rations were so meagre

that they were perpetally hngry, and little %ester took in washing to earn a

few e2tra pennies" This kept her bsy from dawn to dsk daily so that eleven

year old Cornelis had to stand in the ee at the rations store to receive the

family rations"

<rs" Eli'abeth <eyer, another camp inmate at <afe& king, said it was

impossible for the handfl of helpers to hand ot rations to thosands of women

and children in a single day" So on <ondays they eed for meat 1which was

mostly rotten and inedible3, Tesdays to received coffee, rice or sgar, flor andsalt on !ednesdays and Thrsdays and only received a little firewood on

Fridays" Every day people eed from dawn ntil nightfall to be assisted" n

many occasions the frail fainted in the scorching sn, bt the camp athorities

ignored them as thogh they were non&e2istent"

.Jnder these desperate conditions,0 <rs"<eyer said+ .measles and typhoid

were rife in the camp" It was so severe that whole families were wiped ot" At

one stage the death toll totalled * per day"0

Emily %obhose

In her book+ +he %orrows of /ar (and those who suffered them', Emily

towards the enemy"0



ne morning on rising to go and do washing, *&year old %ester was aghast on

noticing that both her sisters had contracted measles" 5an $ensbrg had not

received any news abot his family for some time, as dring that period De la

$ey6s forces were continosly being honded by the enemy and also had a few

narrow escapes" %e and Annie wold only meet again in middle ctober of

%owever, it was a @oyless renion, for his first words to her were+ .<y wife,

early this week I had a vision of or children in the death camp at <afikeng andit was not good" I see a ladder reaching from Earth to %eaven and or two

daghters, Anna 9aterina and little <aria Eli'abeth are standing on it, and

while still looking, I saw my sister, 7ettie, who had passed away in 8=),

appearing at the foot of the ladder" This means that the ?ord has sent 7ettie to

fetch or childrenBthey are no longer with s"""0

Shortly afterwards he and his wife received tidings that ten year old Anna

9aterina and five year old <aria Eli'abeth had respectively died of measles on

th and =th ctober in the camp at <afikeng" At the same time two of his

nieces, the daghter of his sister and that of his sister&in&law, #onnie van !yk,

had also passed away"

(+wenty years later these four children would play the leading role in one of

Van Rensburg&s most important visions regarding the destiny of the Boer

nation'$

After fleeing from their farm, $ietkil, dring that night, 5an $ensbrg never

had the chance to visit his farm again before the end of the war" nce there, he

discovered that his friend who had helped him enclose his few pieces of

frnitre behind the secret wall, had @oined the English forces as a #ational

Scot" %e informed them of the false 8inner6 wall in #icolaas6 hose" Shortly

after, the traitor accompanied a troop of soldiers to $ietkil where they

dynamited and destroyed the frnitre"

The day after he and his wife discovered the destrction, he stood dmbly for along while ne2t to his dismayed and grief&stricken wife and then spoke softly+

The Seer never forgot that his gift was from God and that he shold se it in

service of the 7oer nationBand, ironically enogh, this was at the height of the

saddest time in its historyBwrote (ohannes <eint@es"

And, like the 7iblical prophets, the Seer never took p the sword against his

nation6s enemy" .%e has been sent by God to lead s,0 one of his fellow&

brghers said, adding+ .5an $ensbrg was the essenger of 8od and not %is%word$0

The otcome of the war cold have been vastly different for the 7oer forces had

they made more se of the Seer6s gift of prophesy, bt right p to the end only a

few individals soght his consel now and then"

Ket every day he saw in broad terms what was happening on the battlefield" In

this manner he correctly predicted the otcome of the last great battle between

General de la $ey and ?ord <ethen" Even then he was not spared the

distressing otcome of the war"

According to Field&cornet Keats, who was present, De la $ey meticlosly

planned the battle between himself and <ethen+ .That evening, after war&

concil, General de la $ey sent me to go and call 5an $ensbrg to find otwhether he had 8seen6 anything" 5an $ensbrg nodded and described his vision+

I see a red Afrikaner bll approaching from 5rybrg" %is horns face straight

forward" %e is an2ios to fight" %e is brave and strong, bt when he reaches



7arberspan, he changes color to a red&mottled bll and his horns are hanging"

%is corage has fled" %e begins to feel weak" 7t he will become worse, for

when he reaches %arts $iver, he has no horns" %e cannot btt any longer" Then

I see him at Tweebos with a fractred foreleg" #ow he is white and hornless and

lies wonded in the dst" A yong black arrives, throws a rope over the bll6s

head and leads him back to where he came from"L And as an afterthoght, the

Seer added+ .%e mst have been disarmed"""0

The English sffered a hmiliating defeat at 9lipdrift where they fond ?ord<ethen lying in the dst with a wonded leg" %e never took part in the war

again"

?ater when 7oy <ssmann asked the Seer why he saw ?ord <ethen as a

mottled bll, the old prophet replied+ .4robably becase his forces consisted of

8%ensoppers6 1from the term 8hands p6, a derogatory term for those 7oers who

@oined the English forces to fight against their own people3, #ational Scots

from the Cape, Tommies, coloreds and blacksBa motley crew/0

Shortly thereafter the last negotiations for peace began and once again 5an

$ensbrg described everything beforehand down to the last detail, telling De la

$ey+ .Ko will sign with the Englishman6s knee"""0 1In other words, the 4eacetreaty wold be signed on England6s terms3"

5an $ensbrg also spoke abot many tents near 5ereeni& ging; of the flags that

wold be flying, and he even saw the place where the negotiations wold take

place+ .7t peace will not be finalised there" I see a 7oer hose in 4retoriaB

that is the place"""0 %e was correct, for on *st <ay *>- the 4eace Treaty was

signed in the hose of George %eys in 4retoria" Even General 7arry %ert'og

was totally stnned and later often spoke of the Seer6s visions in 4arliament"

The sickle of death

Some months earlier 5an $ensbrg had a vision regarding an event which

wold take place abroad after the signing of 4eace" %e saw Generals 7otha, De

la $ey and 9emp occpying the front pew of a chrch in %olland" %e thenheard the te2t from which the sermon wold be delivered, as well as the psalm

which wold be sng" According to De la $ey, he had completely forgotten

abot this vision ntil the three of them sat in the chrch in %olland and the

identical te2t and psalm were annonced by the minister"

<eanwhile the Seer retrned to $ietkil where he once again took p his

former hmble task" Sometimes months wold pass withot seeing his hero and

bosom friend, 9oos de la $ey" 7t every once in a while the general sent a

messenger, Captain 9erneels #iewenhis, to ask what 5an $ensbrg had seen

in the interim period" In this manner De la $ey was given news of the stirring in

the 7alkan states, the approaching war and also abot <ssolini6s victories of

the ftre in #orth Africa"

At this time 1*>*H3 the old 7oer prophet saw a very strange vision, one that he

cold not e2plain" Shortly after, De la $ey visited him and Seer told him abot

it" At first, thogh, he spoke lengthily abot the Great !ar soon to break ot+

.Dring the past week I often saw darkness descending over the world" It is a

darkness in which many nations will be rined" !ar is going to destroy

millions" 7t in the aftermath of the war I see a morning&cloth descending

over the world; a darkness when all nations will lament and pray; I see the

sickle of death mowing down millions" It is a terrible disease which will case

more deaths than all the battles of the war"0

(9n those two visions he saw the .irst /orld /ar and the outbrea, of the%panish :.lu in 010;'$

Then he told of the other strange vision+ .After that, I saw a sharp sickle on the

eastern side of Erope coming in from the west" I do not know what it means"



Two red flags are draped over a fence and two head of cattle are fighting" 1I

have never seen sch a sickle or sch red flags3" Then I spotted my bll, old

4ietBblood was pshing p from inside him and he was angry" For prple

flags are also draped over the fence and they, too, trn red" Shortly before the

Great !ar, a fontain of blood flowed from 4iet" Sddenly the faces of war

appear before me again; blood raining from clods, bckets of blood" There is a

massive fire brning" There is a yellow brick which becomes soft" And thenBI

saw a hge red flag moving from north to soth" The fire also brnt from northto soth" Then everything fades and two red blls are engaged in battle"""0 5an

$ensbrg was silent for some time before asking+ .!hat do yo think it means,

8om6 9oos For that fire will contine brning long after the war is over"0

%owever, De la $ey had no idea that the sickle represented the Commnist flag

or the prple flags indicated the $ssian vassal or dependent states which

wold fall to Commnism; that the melting yellow brick depicted the

hmiliation of (apan" %ow cold he know that the red flag and fire moving

from north to soth wold indicate the onslaght of Commnism throgh

China, along the 4acific ocean and Soth Seas And the two battling blls

Athorities agree it can only mean that $ssia and China wold be engaged in a

devastating war before the end of this centry"

General de la $ey left in sombre mood" #ot long after, he again sent Captain

#iewenhis to the seer" The message sent back with him was even more

distrbing+ .I see threatening storm&clods piling p over or contry" Soon the

fse that will set the whole contry alight, will be lit"""0

*>*H, scarcely three weeks prior to the otbreak of war, the Seer ne2pectedlyarrived at General de la $ey6s farm, Elands& fontein, in the ?ichtenbrg district"

It was the first time in the *) years of their friendship that 5an $ensbrg

ndertook the >- km trip to visit the general appro2imately km otside

?ichtenbrg" %e knew he was the bearer of bad news which wold affect the

life of his dear friend and national favorite and he wanted to convey it

personally"

Elandsfontein was a poplar visiting place" 7oer generals, 7ritish statesmen,

townsfolk and brghers often called there, as well as people who wanted to

en@oy the anecdotes and hmor of the famos general and the hospitality of his

wife, 8tant6 #onnie" A lively atmosphere always prevailed on the farm, ntil the

Seer arrived on that fatefl day"""

The general immediately realised that #icolaas had seen another vision, one

that compelled him to ndertake the tiring trip on horseback to speak to him"

They had scarcely greeted when the old prophet said+ .6om6 9oos, I had to

come" It is a serios matter"0

De la $ey took one look at #icolaas6 large, weary and sad eyes, his frail bent

bewildered than when he saw the terrifying vision abot the !ar of Freedom/

!as it mere coincidence that the old prophet saw General 7eyers in the same

and walk along the road which .God has opened for my 7oers,0 as he pt it tohis nephew"

From all the reports, and according to tradition, there is no dobt that with the

help of his visions, he freently kept the commando ot of the hands of their

prsers and enabled them to avoid varios other pitfalls"

Commando members often relied more on the Seer6s visions instead of obeying

orders issed by officers, with the reslt that the officers became pre@diced

towards him" General <anie <arit' once remarked that he wold never allow

#icolaas in his commando+ ."""becase he 8sees6 sch strange things which he

tells the brgers abot and @st now they believe him so that my officers can do

nothing with them"0 nce even General 9emp 1in whose commando the Seer

served3 became impatient with #icolaas and placed the blame for all theirmisfortnes on his sholders"

#icolaas participation in the $ebellion also reslted in a rift between him and

his chrch"

The mintes of the 8#ederditsch6 $eformed Chrch indicate that Seer van

$ensbrg served as deacon on the Chrch Concil in *=>)" %e resigned as an

elder in *>-= and was only nominated as elder again after the $ebellion"

%owever, $everend S" 5ermooten, who was consltant for !olmaransstad at

that stage, hoped that the Seer wold decline the eldership as he was a rebel,

which cold case dissension in the chrch" <eeting by chance at the chrch

sare, $everend 5ermooten said to him+ .5an $ensbrg, I hear yo declined toaccept"""0 to which the Seer replied+ .Kes, $everend, bt yo did not want me to

An interesting article abot the 7oer prophet appeared in Die Burger 1a daily

newspaper3 of =th (ly, *>H-"

.Shortly before the otbreak of the $ebellion of *>*H, General 9oos de la $ey

Baccording to testimony given laterBvisited 5an $ensbrg one night to

enire what the ftre held in its hand" 5an $ensbrg told the 7oer hero that

he saw people moving westwards; they look like commandos moving from

three points in the contry as far as a line 1place3 where they merge" 1General

9emp6s $ebel forces3"

There they met another commando dressed in dll& brown niforms 1<anie

<arit'6 and his men3" The commando leaders discss a ble docment 1the

treaties3" Eventally they sign them and the flag is hoisted"0

()s will be seen later on3 this vision was literally fulfilled'$

The article contines+ .n a certain day dring the Second !ar of Freedom the

7oer encampment nder Commandant 4otgieter stood on the banks of the 7rak

$iver" They were faced with a predicament as it was impossible to determinethe plans of the 7ritish forces"

.In the event of the 7oers deciding to choose a specific direction, they cold

fall into enemy hands" Commandant 4otgieter asked <r" 4iet de 5illiers to go

and find 5an $ensbrg and ask him whether he was able to 8see6 what the

7ritish were planning"

.At the time 5an $ensbrg was with the wagons which had fled from the

English" !hen <r" de 5illiers reached 5an $ensbrg, the latter told him to

convey the message to Commandant 4otgieter that it wold be dangeros to tra&

vel throgh between !olmaransstad and Schwei'er&$e& neke, as he had 8seen6

the 7ritish troops passing that way" <r" de 5illiers had scarcely retrned to his

own commando when a strong 7ritish forceBe2actly as 5an $ens& brg hadwarnedBpassed between the two towns"0

In many letters to <essrs Cornelis 7orman of 9imber& ley and (oos

resident of ttosdal in the !estern Transvaal" .%e was a !ar of Freedom and

$ebellion veteran"0 <r" %ager wrote to me, and he also knew and was on good

footing with Seer van $ensbrg" %e told me the story of the $ebellion many

times+

n their way to German !est 1#amibia3 <r" Groene& wald told me how they

moved ot from 9rman on the lifantshoek road in *>*H and that he was

riding abreast with the Seer" The 9alahari sand lay before them" The Seer

sddenly reined in his horse and asked him+ 8!hat type of thing is that hammer

and sickle I have seen all morning coming down from the north across the sky

to Africa !hat cold it mean6<r" Groenewald said he looked p, bt the sky was clear" Some time later the

Seer said he was also seeing how many, bt many blacks were rnning from the



African contries #orth of s, to or Soth Africa, an from here to Erope" 5an

$ensbrg added that he wondered what they wanted"

Dring the rest of the @orney he contined speaking abot the strange hammer

and sickle he kept seeing to the north" This greatly distrbed him/

!hen riding from 9rman towards 9at and Sishen, one sees the 9oranna

montains on one side and the ?angeberg on the other" The Sishen&Saldhana

railway line rns between these two ranges"

#ow, when General 9emp6s $ebel commando rode from 9rman in the

direction of lifantshoek and they cold see the desert sand, the Seer asked

Frans Groene& wald+ .And now !hat is the meaning of all those lights that

look like those of (ohannesbrg0

<r" Groenewald said he saw nothing bt 9alahari sand" %e cold never

nderstand that vision of the Seer, becase when he told me this, Sishen was

still covered nder limestone and sand" The $ailways only developed Sishen

after <r" Groenewald had passed away"

!hen one nowadays proceeds from 9rman towards lifantshoek in the

evening, one can see the lights of all the minesBinclding those of Sishen and

9at, and they look @st like (ohannesbrg dring the Seer6s time" !ho woldhave thoght this possible in those years

<r" %ager contines writing+ .At one time the rebels were srronded by Jnion

troops on this side of 9heis, and it was clear that they were trapped there"

General 9emp then realised that he was in troble and called a war concil

meeting" There did seem to be one soltionBthey wold have to fight their way

ot at a specific location" %owever, before giving the order to do so, General

9emp decided to conslt the Seer" %e called 5an $ensbrg over and e2plained

his plan to him" The Seer shook his head and said+ 0#o, we have to cross that

hillock there,L indicating towards the place" General 9emp then told him that

the Government6s cannons were standing there and held his binoclars ot to

#icolaas to look for himself" 7t withot taking them, the Seer said+ .It is allright; I can see the cannons, bt they are nmanned"0 General 9emp followed

his advice and they crossed the hillock withot a single shot being fired"

Mr. D.J. Esterhuizen

<r" Esterhi'en6s father and 8om6 #icolaas van $ens& brg became good

friends dring the $ebellion and were often seen in each other6s company"

Dring their march to German !est, they were engaged in a skirmish with

Government troops one evening and before darkness fell, the $ebels were

srronded" %is father, Commandant Esterhi'en, decided to wait ntil later

that night before breaking throgh the enemy lines" %owever, the Seer went to

him and said+ .!e will be captred where yo are planning to escape tonight, bt the ?ord is opening another way for s on the other side where we mst go

throghBI will lead yo to safety"0

Commandant Esterhi'en assembled the men and told them abot the plans"

%owever, he warned them that they had to be e2ected very ietly and orderly"

%e and the Seer wold take the lead and dring the e2ods no smoker was

allowed to strike a match" They had progressed only a short distance when the

Seer said+ .Commandant, someone is striking matches in the back lines"0

Commandant Esterhi'en called the men to a halt and strictly forbade anyone

to smoke, and they started walking again" #ot long after, 5an $ensbrg

whispered once again+ .Commandant, somebody is still striking matches to

light a pipe"0 The commandant6s patience was wearing thin and ordering theSeer to lead the men on, he trned his horse, $by, and rode to the rear of the

colmn" Then he spotted a man who had plled his coat halfway over his head,

attempting to light a pipe behind it" There and then the commandant belabored



the clprit across his head with his s@ambok, which effectively e2tingished the

man6s craving for a smoke/ 5an $ensbrg then led them throgh safely withot

any of the Government troops getting any inkling of their presence"

In *>*H when Generals 7otha and Smts indicated that they intended anne2ing

German Soth !est for England, De !et, De la $ey and 7eyers decided to

hoist the 5ierkler and fight for a repblic; bt they wold not shed innocent

blood or move bondaries"Shortly before the otbreak of war, $everend Fast& mann of Schwei'er&

$eneke was on leave in Cambridge" %e received a letter from my father which

read+ .Seer van $ensbrg said yo mst come home, becase he sees the flames

of war being ignited"0 $everend Fastmann ignored this advice, as a professor

1at Cambridge3 told him+ .There are no war clods in the sky, so where will war

come from0 %e then went to Scotland" Eighteen days later he cold not board

his ship becase he had sailed on a German ship" So ?ord Selborne offered him

and his wife a free passage to Cape Town"

At the time I was attending school in Stellenbosch when I received a telegram

from my father ordering me to retrn home immediately"

I showed $everend Fastmann my telegram and we travelled together toSchwei'er&$eneke" En rote I told them how 8om6 9lasie had told my father

how we wold be travelling to German Soth !est"



#o sooner had we arrived in Schwei'er&$eneke when 4arliament decided to

sent a decree to General 7otha and said+ .Ko mst condemn the $ebels

reason General 7otha called all the !estern Transvaal chrch ministers to

4retoria and ordered them to preach Romans 05 only"

That afternoon after lnch my eldest brother accompanied the Seer to $everendFastmann" n their arrival, $everend Fastmann said+ .It is a great sin to rebel

against yor athoritiesB Romans 05"0 The Seer replied+ .$everend, the ?ord

sent Samel to anoint Sal as king" Then the ?ord sent Samel again to anoint

David as king" !ho, among the followers of David or Sal were the rebels0

Then $everend Fastmann said+ .?ook, the ld Testament is obsolete/ It serves

<asers in German !est, bt they have white points and he does not know

what it means" %e sees himself greeting General <arit' where he is seated on

his ble roan horse in German !est"

That evening we left Schwei'er&$eneke and stopped at ?owsvlakte, opposite

9illarney" !e moved from there along the plain leading straight to 4dmistation" n arriving at the convention line, 8om6 9lasie stopped the

commando and said+ .An armored train is waiting for s here at 4dmi

station"0 ?ater that night he trned s away and we went de north ntil we



arrived opposite Dryhart station" The following day 1)th #ovember3 we stopped

on the 9aapseberg 1Cape <ontain3 where 8om6 9lasie annonced+ .There is

a spotted bstard 1traitor3 amongst s"0 That same night we left and had not

proceeded far when a shot rang ot in the front of the commando and a rider

disappeared to the left" !e waited for the rear riders to catch p with s and

8om6 9lasie said+ .!e can proceed now, the spotted bstard has disappeared"

%e wanted to shoot General 9emp, bt missed"0

n Snday, =th #ovember, we left for 9rman town" <y brother, 4iet, and Iwere riding abreast when 8om6 9lasie @oined s" %e addressed my brother+

.!hen I look at myself, I see my people" I see myself being shot" They carry

me throgh a watery marsh and on the opposite side is a hose with a verandah

on the northern side" They lay me down on a coch and cover me with a

blanket"0

I sddenly recalled what 8om6 9lasie had told s before the skirmish" The

marsh water is the fontain at 9rman and the right end of the ditch where we

passed is the mission station, Siodin" the white hose is that of the missionary"

?ater Siodin was changed to a school"

!e moved towards lifantshoek and that night, very close to the town, 8om69lasie stopped the commando to annonce+ .Government troops are lying in

wait on either side of the road rnning throgh the ridges to ambsh s"0

!e trned left on the road to 4ostmasbrg and arrived at the farm, Dikeping the

following morning" That morning or spies caght a small old stallion with a

swollen knee and led it to the camp" Arond eleven o6clock 9oos Jys asked

General 9emp whether he cold have the old horse and the general agreed" Jys

asked the general which direction he was taking from there and 9emp said+

.4ost& masbrg0, then he 19emp3 asked what the state of water and grass was

there" Jys replied that it had rained some days previosly; water was plentifl

and the grass shold be green by now" The Seer chipped in+ .I see Government

troops passing s in an easterly direction"0 r spies reported the same"!e remained there in silence the whole day, allowing the Government troops an

opportnity to pass s from li& fantshoek townBa distance of *H miles 1

km3" At snset 8om6 9lasie told s to move on as the road was clear" As we

crossed the second ridge, we saw Government troops taking p positions

alongside the 4ostmasbrg road and we started shooting at them" At the same

time 4etrs Ferreira, who had split away from s at 9rman, started shooting

at them from the sothern side" !e were ordered to go and take the pass

rnning throgh the ?angeberg, so if the Government troops wanted to get at

s, they wold have to pass arond lifantshoek"

Ferreira entered the pass behind s and took p position by a farm gate after

hiding the horses" !hen the Government troops arrived, they were savagely

attacked by Fer& reira and they had to retreat"

After that we moved past ?angeberg towards Groot $ivier 1now range $iver3

as far as !itsand where we fond water" 8om6 9lasie said+ .The enemy is not

coming so we can sleep now"0 Each man hobbled his horse and then fell asleep"

The following morning 8om6 9lasie annonced+ .Get the men togetherBthe

Government troops are advancing" !e had scarcely assembled at !itsand when

the enemy arrived and we engaged in battle" !e lost for men and one was

wonded" f or men who died, three were shot in the head and the forth in

the stomach" !e discovered the reason for or men being shot in the headBwe

wore white hatbands which they sed as targets/ !e ob@ected to wearing white bands arond or arms as it was the badge of $oman Catholicism dring

7artholomew night when the Christians were mrdered"



!e stayed over at !itsand for two days, which was good, as more than *)-

men trned back and srrendered" !e were in bad shape and many of or

horses had to remain behind" It was very dry that year, bt fortnately a lot of

horses were gra'ing there"

General 9emp sent two divisions nder command of 4etrs Ferreira and the

other nder <acCarthy ahead with reports to <arit', asking him for assistance"

After the second day 8om6 9lasie annonced that the road was open and we

mst leave" 8om6 !illie 7oshoff of !olmarans& stad held a short service andread from (osha +)+ .And (osha said nto the people+ Sanctify yorselves,

for tomorrow the ?ord will do wonders among yo"0 !e then realised that both

8om6 9lasie and 8om6 !illie were elders of their chrch at !olmaransstad

and intimate friends" Tomorrow we wold e2perience something special"

!e trekked ntil ** o6clock the following day" n reaching the hills above

Groot $iver, we fond the enemy lying fast asleep" The shooting started

immediately" !e cold see the waters of Groot $iver, bt the enemy stood fast

in defence"

!hen night fell we shot or way throgh to the river, enabling s and or

horses to drink" Then 8om6 9lasie said+ .#ow I nderstand the vision of theman with the spectaclesBthis means it is their spy and we have to tread

careflly" Ket we caght them asleep/0

The two days we stayed over at !itsand served a dal prpose" $esting the

horses, catching other horses and catching the enemy asleep when we arrived"

ne of or men was shot"

From there we moved along the river to Jpington and every day we had to

shoot the enemy away from the water" !e arrived at a farm called 9afferswart

where the dnes meet almost on the river banks" The farm lay between two

ridges where they broke on the banks" !e left si2 men here to serve as lookots

for the force advancing behind along the river" <any horses, mles and

donkeys emerged from the dnes at the entrance where the hose stood, todrink" !e ronded them p and drove them into or camp where the men

caght horses, donkeys, mlesBeverything that cold be monted"

n the eastern side right opposite or camp soth of Groot $iver, Government

troops made an appearance" They started fighting and we sspected it cold be

a battle between rebels and Government troops being waged there" General

9emp called a war concil and it was decided we wold move on as 8om6

9lasie insisted that there were no rebels" !e told 8om6 9lasie+ .$oyston said

he was waiting for General de !et, and $oyston receives the official reports of

rebel movements""" If it is not De !et, then possibly it cold be Conroy"0

.#o,0 said 8om6 9lasie+ .it isn6t Conroy either"0 Someone asked whether it

cold be <arit', to which #icolaas replied+ .#o, my brother, I have already

told yo I am greeting <arit' where he is sitting on his ble roan in German

!est"0

An gly incident occrred that day" At Schwei'er&$eneke a little Frenchman by

the name of $ssell @oined s" %e was e2tremely brave" !hile he and I were

strolling past General 9emp, he called $ssell and said+ .$ssell, I want to

send yo throgh to <arit' with a report" If yo can deliver it, and if I come

into power, I6ll make a big man ot of yo"0 !ithot saying a word, $ssell

took the report and walked away" I had seen General 9emp writing the report in

his pocket book and which read+ .Ko can believe what this man tells yo"0

I told the General+ .7t, General 9emp, this is very nfair of yo" Ko knowthat he cannot possibly get throgh the lines of thosands of enemies/0

.That does not bother me/ I don6t trst him and I6ll be well rid of him"0



.7t General,0 I replied+ .if he is not trstworthy, yo are giving him carte

blanche to lead <arit' into the hands of the enemy/0 9emp repeated that he

wold not scceed" The Government troops captred $ssell and shot him"

!hy did General 9emp not rather conslt the Seer to determine if there was

another spotted bstard among s

It became obvios that the skirmish on the opposite bank of the Groot $iver

was a blind to entice s there" Then it wold have been a simple matter for the

Government to gard the fording places in the river and so prevent s fromreaching German !est" !hen it grew dark at 9afferswart, the Seer said+ .r

road is openBwe mst moveBride east into the dnes"0

After *) miles 1H km3 we reached the farm, Diepklip" #othing came of the war

concil" From Diepklip we went de north, throgh the dnes withot water

and only a light shower of rain" This trned into a tre desert trek"

And while trekking throgh the #amib, conditions for the rebels became so

critical at one stage, that their tonges stck to their palates, and ot of sheer

desperation they were compelled to slaghter some of the pack horses and drink

their blood in order to srvive"

The Seer led s past on the right of Steenkamp6s 4an where a large Governmentforce was stationed" !hen we observed sheep droppings among the dnes, we

realised we were almost throgh the desert" !e had not progressed far before

coming across a nmber of sheep which we took with s" !e stopped by a pan

of water at $ooidam"

!e dropped off into a deep sleep, bt fortnately the commandant awoke and

said+ .<en, saddle p" ?ook at the Government troops advancing/0 The whole

area was teeming with troops" Fortnately the Seer had told s at the pan+ .The

road is open, we mst move,0 otherwise panic wold have ensed" r order

was to occpy the hillock to the left of the pan" !hen we reached the top, we

noticed another large force to the left of the hillock srronding s"

r * men swerved to the right to re@oin the main encampment" !e on thehillock had scarcely gone abot *-- yards before bombs started e2ploding

arond s" !e were srronded and compressed into a small grop so we

defended orselves as best we cold with limited ammnition at or disposal"

r -- men were bt a handfl, of which more than half were foot&soldiers"

!hen or ammnition ran ot, we threw away or rifles, for who was capable

of carrying an empty rifle across the dnes

The Government troops stopped firing before sndown" !e were called back

from or defensive circle" 1I had harnessed some o2en from !itsand to or

motor car, as my brother, 4iet <ssmann, had been wonded at 9rman and

was lying in the vehicle3" This gave s some breathing space while General

9emp sent ot reports ordering the brghers to assemble by the vehicle"

!hen General 9emp and I reached the car simltaneosly, the Seer was sitting

on the rnning&board" General 9emp asked the Seer+ .!ell, old #icolaas, how

does it look to yo now0 The Seer replied+ .I told yo when we were at

9affirswart" The red blanket is covering s, after which I see a red light while

we are fighting" Then the blanket lifts and we emerge from nder it"0 At these

words, General 9emp held his fists nder the Seer6s nose and snarled+ .Ko

talk easily, bt look how we are srronded by the enemy/0

The Seer replied+ .I have seen the road where we mst e2it and I did not see

any shots being fired at s""" ?ook, we are moving between two dnes 1de

north3 ntil they come together where we move throgh the pass" Then we trnleft 1westwards3, crossing one dne after which we proceed across hard veld"

Frther on we reach a pan of water, after which we pass between the troops" !e



captre three blind springbok 1Government troops mistaking s for their

people3 at the pan"0

!hen it grew dark, the Seer pt his @acket over his arm and said to the officers+

.9eep the brghers together in a small gropBdo not let them spread ot"0

That night the Seer walked in front of the o2en plling the motor car and we

followed him" There was no moon and we passed right in front of the

Government troops6 cannons withot a shot being fired" After crossing the dne

we reached the plain where we captred the three 8blind springbok6" And as8om6 9lasie had predicted, they mistook s for their own people" <ller

$ademeyer of 5rybrg remarked that the three men had a large amont of water

flasks with them and realising they were Government troops, they were

captred"

Then the Seer told me 17oy <ssmann3+ .I see General 7otha himself is there"

%is eyes are popping ot from rage, his horns are sharp, bt the white canvas

1grondsheet3 is covering sBGod6s protective hand"0 %e then referred to

$evelation +*H&*BGod6s presence in their midst"

After the men and animals had drnk their fill at $ooi& dam, 5an $ensbrg

once again sat on the rnning&board of the car" I asked+ .6om6 9lasie, why didGeneral 9emp go weak in the knees when he reproached yo with his fists

nder yor nose0 %e replied+ .Kes, my brother, God makes everyone kneel in

the dst" Tomorrow, or the day after, the General 9emp mst not say it was he,

the brave general, or I, the Seer, or yo, the brave brghers who led s ot, bt

give the glory to God that is de to %im"0 I asked+ .6om6 9lasie, what lies

ahead0 %e repliedL .Tomorrow we will be among the 8ble rocks6 1dolerite3"

%owever, what I don6t nderstand is that I see them splitting away from s and

then retrning with two ble roans, two brown horses and one grey dappled

horse" They then come in amongst s"0

That night we moved from $ooidam, arriving at a farm, Gelk, at snrise"

!e saw a nmber of riders and we shot at them, as we had to obtain water andfood" Initially they hid in the 8kraal6 1cattle enclosre3, bt when they saw s

approaching they fled and spread ot so that we cold not simltaneosly kill

two with one bllet"

n arriving at the farm, we learned that the Germans and German farmers had

fled" The owner of the farm, <r" ?ong, had no livestock in the veld" Captain

!illiams was sent to deliver a report to them" %e took the two brown horses

and a dapple grey which <ller $ademeyer had looted the previos evening,

retrning with Captain Adam 7oshoff, Commandant Schoeman de !et and a

certain 5an Myl, and two ble roans"

Commandant Schoeman had heard the cannons thndering and realised it wasone or other rebel commando breaking throgh"

It was for this reason he advanced in that direction as ickly as he cold the

previos day"

The o2en were nharnessed from the car and a report made to General <arit'" I

shot one of the draght o2en and when the skin was spread ot on the grond,

8om6 9lasie arrived and annonced+ .<ove immediately/ Immediately/0 n

looking back towards $ooidam, we saw the red dst of 7otha6s troops

advancing"

?ois 7otha srronds s

!e positioned orselves at Eersteplaas where the road rns over the ridge

towards Grootnes" r foot&soldier comrades gave s what ammnition theycold spare and we moved on as far as Grootnes"

General 7otha6s troops were determined to srrond s and Commandant

Schoeman had to move to the rear flank, shoot back and retrn from the left" It



seemed as thogh General 7otha was being catios as he did not know

whether other forces than those of Commandant Schoeman were in the vicinity"

After the day6s skirmish we marched to 9oegoeskop where 8om6 9lasie said+

.The enemy is not coming, so we can sleep now"0 The following day as we

marched to ?angklip, General 7otha kept track of s" That evening we arrived

at ?angklip where we fond livestock for slaghtering"

!e obtained a strong wagon and a span of o2en" At *- o6clock that night 8om6

9lasie annonced that we had to move as the enemy was advancing from threesides" General 7otha strck at o6clock and fond only the remains of animal

heads and feet left after the feast" At > o6clock the ne2t morning <arit' @oined

s with a strong contingent of reinforcements" n =th #ovember that evening

we slept at #akab"

After having rested at #akab, singing, and giving thanks to God, we had to

march to the German barracks at #abas on *st December" 7ags of oats were

broght in for the srviving horses and we and the horses soon molted and we

were given <asers"

Treaties drawn p

The Governor arrived to negotiate with s" Treaties were drawn p and some ofor officers were chosen to sign the treaties on behalf of the *>*H $ebels"

The following version of the *>*H treaties is that of General <anie <arit' as

written in his book+ y Fife and )spirations, pblished in *>>" 1This book is

still on the banned list in Soth Africa" In fact, most books written by role

players dring the !ar of Freedom and the $ebellion were banned by the Smts

Government3"

.Agreement made and conclded between and by the Governor of the 9aiser of

German Soth !est Africa as representative of his esteemed <a@esty, the

9aiser of Germany, and General S"G" <arit', on behalf of a nmber of officers

and men wishing to declare the independence of Soth Africa, acknowledge+

R *" Said General S"G" <arit' having declared the

independence of Soth Africa and declaring war against England;

R " The Governor of German Soth !est Africa

acknowledges all 8Afrikaans6 forces engaged against England as being forces of

war and after frther discssions to spport them in their war against England"

R " In the event of 7ritish Soth Africa being declared partly

or flly independent, the Governor of the 9aiser of German Soth !est Africa

will apply all means to have the State or States acknowledged ths and have

them inclded in the general signing of peace"

R H" In consideration of sch assistance the newly formedState or States will have no ob@ection to the German $eich anne2ing !alvis

7ay and the islands ad@oining German Soth !est Africa"

R )" The centre of the range $iver will in ftre form the

R " The German $eich will have no ob@ection if the above

R " Shold the prising fail, any dissidents present in German

territory will be considered to be German sb@ects and treated as sch"

After the signing of the treaties we were transferred from #abas and Jkamas to

(ersalem where the last horses were distribted among orselves" !e wereordered to move from Skitdrif at range $iver where we met Commandant

Stadler" %e had previosly taken Commandant D 4lessis of Cradock as



prisoner&of&war" D 4lessis had marched to Jpington with )-- men, having

promised to General Smts to deliver <anie <arit' to him 1Smts3"

The )-- men fled and left their commander in the safe hands of Commandant

Stadler" The 7otha&Smts Government decided to march into German !est in

varios colmns of * --- men each"

ne colmn was at $ooysvlei, one at ?t'hts and one at #os 1on the Jnion

side of the range $iver3" In the meantime the river had risen considerablyB

probably this same water which had claimed the lives of General 7eyers and4ieterse"

$eaching #os posed a problem" %owever, the ma2im+ 8A farmer always

makes a plan6 swng into operation" 5an der <erwe rowed across with a steel

cable and firmly wond and tied it arond some thorn trees" <any hands plled

it as tat as possible on the German !est side and tied it to thorn trees there"

The two boats were held alongside each other and planks attached across them

to form a rde platform" An o2 chain was hooked to the cable in front of the

boats and we had a workable ferry with which we transported or commando

and cannons across the river" 8om6 9lasie, however, did not want to cross

over, saying+ .I see a well 1danger3 in the middle of range $iver" At #os Isee an English girl 1Government troops3 @mping p and rnning down the

valley" She is wearing a dirty napkin and then she sits down"0

The last division to cross on the ferry was that of Commandant Stadler" The

ferry cold carry for monted horses simltaneosly" The last for 8penkoppe6

1yong teenage army volnteers3 ronded p the sheep belonging to the

Government troops and pt them nder the planks inside the boats" n reaching

the centre of the river, the load became too heavy and the boats started taking in

water" Two of the for lads drowned &the 8well6 that 5an $ensbrg had seen,

had claimed its victims"

7ack to the Transvaal

!hile still in the Transvaal, 8om6 9lasie said+ .I will be standing naked whenwe begin or retrn @orney"0

8om6 9lasie was standing naked in the bathroom when some of the brghers

entered and annonced+ .General 9emp says we mst make preparations as we

have to retrn to the Transvaal"0 n learning that 9emp intended

retrning, <anie <arit' went to him and asked+ .!hat is going on0 9emp

replied+ .I am going back0 and <arit' said+ .This will be yor last move"0

.The Seer told me that the road wold be open,L 9emp said, bt <arit' said+

.Kor road may be open, bt I cannot see it"0

Eventally, after arriving in German !est, the brghers in the $ebellion

commando were dilapidated; their clothes were in tatters; their shoes wornthrogh and some had no shoes" All the officers and men cold talk abot were

the wonderfl leadership of the Seer van $ensbrg" General <anie <arit'

cold not believe all these tales, bt at the same time he cold not imagine that

everyone cold be lying"

So he said+ .ne day several of the $ebellion officers and I were sitting on

Adam6s dam wall" I saw the Seer approaching and I thoghtBlet who say what

Byo are a wonderfl creatre"0 Then he added+ .Seer, sit ne2t to me and say+

8I see yo believe nothing of what I am telling yo/ #ow I will tell General a

few things and if they do not happen, yo never have to believe me"60

5an $ensbrg then told the following in connection with or proposed attack on

?t'pts+ .Ko plan on captring everyone at ?t'pts" I see yo standing witha blanket" 4art of it is torn off and disappearsBbt not one will escape"""0

.Then I said+ 8If this happens, I will believe yo, becase if a single one

escapes, then the cannons at 5an $ooysvlei will be alerted"0



!hen or bombs began raining down on the 1Government3 camp at ?t'pts,

the sentries who had fired warning shots when they spotted or presence,

appeared" They charged at s and we yelled+ .%ands p/0 They gave their

horses rein and charged at s where we 1- men with <asers each loaded with

ronds of ammnition3 were sitting at the ready" The trench where we were

hidden was so wide and deep that even or horses cold not be seen from the

srface" After the battle some of the foot&soldier yongsters 1Defence Force3

arrived and told General <a& rit' to go and look where they had lain in theirtrench Bthere was not a single empty shell as they had refsed to shoot at

them" General <arit' said to them+ .I will not send yo away to !indhoek" See

to it that yo do not shoot at yor fellow Afrikaners again/0

#ot a single one escaped"

That evening, after the $ebels6 victory at ?t'pts, the old Seer held a

thanksgiving service and read from <alachi +* Behold3 9 will send my

messenger and he shall prepare the way before me$$$- after which they sang

hymn )++ .Cold my heart in fearsome battle, tempted by deep nworthiness

have mistrsted Thy love"""0 1?oose translation from original Afrikaans3"

The black mle and the Sabbath"!e marched from ?t'pts to Jpington when the Seer said+ .I see or little

wheel trning at Jpington" 1This meant things wold go wrong3"

n Thrsday, *st (anary *>* we arrived at a farm near Jpington" From a

hillock on this farm 1Christiana3 one cold see Jpington clearly"

!e received or orders on Satrday night+ .Saddle p, we mst attack

Jpington/0

A war concil was called for after dark" General 9emp stood in the centre and

addressed the officers"

Sddenly 8om6 9lasie appeared, went p to General 9emp and said to him+ .I

am asking yo for the last time not to attack Jpington tomorrow on the Snday

1Hth (anary3"0

General 9emp replied+ .I have confirmed reports that General 7otha has *

--- troops in the forts and he is bringing in still more troops" Do yo want me

to wait ntil <onday when there cold be a frther * --- troops0

8om6 9lasie shook his head+ .Since leaving the Trans& vaal the Government

troops have attacked s every Sn& day" !e have had to defend orselves and

blood and crime rest on their heads" %owever, if yo attack tomorrow, blood

and crime will rest on yor head"0 %e contined+ .I see we are now a black

mle which is staggering backwards" !e have deteriorated into a mleBa

black mle" !e will sffer heavy losses of death and casalties" The mle

staggers back" They will drive s back" 4lease, yo mst not attack on theSabbath"0

General 9emp replied+ .?ook, I want to attack tomorrow, or not at all"0

8om 9lasie said+ .General, if yo do not want to listen, then I have @st one

reest to make to (ack Smith, the officer of the cannon division"""0 1%is sons

served nder Smith3"

General 9emp wanted to know what this reest was and #icolaas replied+ .I

see my son !illie die" I @st want to ask Smith to not place him where he

intended doing so"0

<y brother, Commandant Chris <ssmann then said+ .8om6 9lasie, if yor

son is to die, yo can place him where yo want to and he will still be shot"0

Then the ld Seer !ept/

The Seer trned to him and nodded+



.Kes, old Chris, bt don6t yo know God is pacified by prayer0 %e looked at

s again and said+ .I have a last reest to make from all of yoByo all know

now that he will die" 4lease do not tell him"0 And with that he left the meeting,

e2iting past me where he had entered" And as far as he walked, we cold hear

his sorrowfl sobbing" Srely over his son, bt also over the sin against God

1fighting on a Snday3, !ho had miraclosly protected and led s throgh the

desert" #o pen can ever describe the feelings in his fatherly heart/

The following morning we entered Jpington in closed file" <y brothers Chrisand 4iet, the Seer, his nephew, Andries, and I rode at the head of brother Chris6

commando" The Seer said he had seen a vision above Andries6 brother6s leg and

did not know what it meant+

.I see blood flowing from his leg and I also see a big white hose which looks

like a chrch" I see my son !illie lying on the wrong side of his coat" <y

mother and other 7oer women sit weeping arond him" This is a very bad

sign"""0

General 9emp kept to his plan and attacked Jpington on Snday morning" 7t

we were driven back with the loss of - dead, >- wonded and a large nmber

of captives"()ndries& brother was hit in the leg during the fight against the 8overnment

troops$ Commandant %tadler was also heavily wounded and died that night at

Christiana$ His :pen,oppe& lost a true father in him'"

After this setback 8om6 9lasie said to General 9emp+ .#ow yo mst go and

negotiate, becase or work is finished"0 1%e meant the agreements we had

made were finished3" Then he added+ .I saw or gns being packed away in the

bo2"0

General 9emp was angry and snapped at him+ .Ko might see with yor

backside/ !here have yo seen anyone negotiating with someone who has

conered yo0

!ith this <anie <arit' chipped in+ .9emp, have yo no damned shame !henyo arrived from the Transvaal, yo did not even drop yor trosers to relieve

yorself withot the Seer having to see yor road" And today yo treat him like

this There is nothing to be done for yo, becase with the few men yo have

left after the fightBno matter how brave and well&armedByo can never

coner the Jnion/0

9emp said+ .If I do this, the Government will have s all shot"0

To which the Seer replied+ .I cannot see them shooting s, becase the white

canvas is covering s"0 1!henever we were in dire straits, he always said+ .I

see a white canvas covering s" God6s protective %and" %e then oted

$evelation + *H&*3+ )nd he said3 +hese are they who have came out of the great tribulationG they have washed their robes and made them white in the

blood of the Famb$ +herefore3 they are before the throne of 8od and serve Him

day and night in His templeG and He who sits on the throne will spread his tent

over them$$$-1#I53"

General <anie <arit' was of the opinion that his rebel forces cold deliver a

last blow to the Government troops" %owever, 5an $ensbrg 8saw6 otherwise

and told the general+

.A great black montain across which there is no pathway, looms before s" !e

come p against an impenetrable wall""" I also see sgar being distribted to s

in Jpington and that we retrn to the Transvaal along another rote Bwith fast

iron wagons"""0Then General <arit' took General 9emp with him to go and negotiate with the

Government officers" The commandos retrned for some distance towards the



German !est side as far as the farm 9oegoeskop to await the otcome of the

negotiations"

The Seer said he saw the negotiations being sccessfl, becase he saw s

moving to Jpington and food being distribted to s"

%owever, !illie van $ensbrg, his son, was not shot in the fight and was still

with s"

?ike <oses of ld

The terms laid down were+ .Ko mst lay down yor arms"0 The officers wold

be taken prisoner and the brghers wold be sent home with their horses" If the

Government reired horses, they wold be evalated and we wold be paid

ot for them" There were many acacia trees on the farm 9oegoeskop" 5an

$ensbrg said he saw every brgher picking a peach from an acacia, bt he 1the

Seer3 only got a peach in 4retoria"

n learning that we intended srrendering, the German athorities sent each

brgher a golden 4ond as travelling e2pense" 8om6 9lasie6s name did not

appear on the corporal6s list, so he did not get a golden coin 1his peach3"

r commando travelled to Jpington to srrender and that night we slept

otside the town, every division with its officer" The artillery was @st ahead ofmy brother Chris6 command" The Seer6s son, !illie, and I were together when

he said+ .<y father says that the Government is going to hold the officers for a

long time, as he saw straps arond the officers6 legs, bt they won6t hold s for

long"0 %e also told me to @oin him in the ploghing at !olma& ransstad so that

we cold stay together"

!ith <anie <arit'6 srrender after the battle of Jping& ton, those who had not

been killed wold be taken prisoner and sent back by train to the Transvaal"

They were issed with provisions, which also inclded a ration of sgarB

e2actly as the Seer had said/

The officers were sent to the Fort in (ohannesbrg and we brghers to the

9imberley compond" n or arrival, H- of s were ill from gastric fever"

n Snday morning, th <arch *>*), the camp commandant asked me

whether I knew Corneels and #icolaas van $ensbrg" .Kes, I do"0 I replied" %e

then reested me to call them for him" I told the two brothers the commandant

wished to see them" Jnfortnately, however, I did not ask why he wanted to see

them" It was only on Snday evening when I saw Corneels van $ensbrg

weeping in front of their cell and asked him what was wrong" %e told me+ .!e

went to the hospital this afternoon" r brother, !illie, is dying"0 I asked+ .Did

yo leave him by himself0 %e shook his head+ .#o, or mother and several

other women who went to visit their menfolk are with him"0

E2actly as his farther predicted+ .I see my son !illie lying on the wrong side ofhis coat" <y mother and other 7oer women sit weeping arond him"""0

(/illie died of gastric fever that same night'"

!e arrived in 9imberley on th Febrary *>*) and were discharged in April"

The hospital was the white hose 5an $ensbrg had seen in his vision"

=- !itnesses were sbpoenaed to testify against the officers" #ot a single one

cold say he had ever seen the Seer with a gn in his hands or that he played an

active part in the $ebellion" Frthermore, nobody cold declare that he had ever

incited any of them to rebel, so no sentence cold be passed on 8om6 9lasie"

After every officer6s case was closed, (dge ?ang and two assessors entered

and read ot each man6s sentence" General de !et was sentenced to years6

imprisonment and fined * ---"

After the officers had all received their sentences, he trned to the Seer" There

were no charges against him" The (dge then said+ .Ko eat too mch meat at



night" That is why yo dream dreams and see visions" 7t I6m telling yo to

keep yor dreams and visions to yorself, or I6ll pt yo in @ail for the rest of

the war"0

That night 8om6 9lasie and my brother slept together" <y brother said to him+

.The Englishman had his knife in for yo today"0 8om6 9lasie replied+ .Kes,

old Chris, bt I see them brying him"0

Three days later (dge ?ang was bried after he had died very sddenly"

7oy <ssmann concldes his description with the following+ .General 9emp,

with the help of Seer van $ens& brg, led s safely throgh the desert as did

<oses of old"0

In prison

Althogh no evidence was led dring his trial that #ico& laas van $ensbrg

carried a weapon, he was sentenced on his own evidence to *= months6

imprisonment and fined )-"

Dring his own trial the Seer had an astonding vision"

!hile in the dock, the presiding (dge addressed him+ .I forbid yo to see

anything/0 to which the Seer replied+.Kor %onor, what can I do, for as I am standing here, I am seeing "0 In

response to a estion what he was seeing, 5an $ensbrg said+ .I see my son

!illie has died in 9im& berley prison"0

The hearing was still in progress when a messenger entered with a telegram for

the Seer" The presiding (dge tore it open and read ot to the cort+ .Kor son

has passed away"0

General <anie <arit' attempted to flee with the treaties, bt was taken prisoner

by Commander Sampaai de #obe& re in 4ortgal, after which he was taken to

Germany and only retrned to the Jnion in *>-"

1n *Hth September *>H- the Germans read ot the treaties and proclamationof *>*H over the radio and declared to the Afrikaner nation that they

acknowledged the treaties and wold do everything within the power of the

German nation to honor them one day" 5an $ensbrg had already predicted

this twenty years earlier/3"

After conclsion of the Seer6s trial and sentence, he shared a cell with the

writer, %arm ost, in 7oksbrg prison" %is first words to the newspaper

reporter were+ .I knew we wold meet" A black mle licked at my sleeve and I

had to go throgh a thorn thicket" 7t I emerged on the other side"""0 The 8black

mle6 represented the prison athorities and the thorn thicket the abse and

sffering he had to endre" The ardos @orney on which the Seer

accompanied General 9emp and -- rebels to German Soth !est had takentheir toll on his health to sch an e2tent that he wold never flly recover"

Despite gaining fame as a the Seer since the !ar of Freedom, 5an $ensbrg

received no mercy from the prison athorities"

Every morning they were allowed otside in the stone yard for some e2ercise,

and sometimes 5an $ensbrg told %arm in his own serene manner of visions he

had seen the previos night"

1I ote some of them3+

.I see yo remaining behind after the others have been released"0

Some months later+ .Kor time to go is close"0

Then sddenly one morning+ .<y wife wants to come and visit me, bt I senther a telegram that she mst not do so, as I will be home before she arrives

here"0



The $ebel, 7oy <ssmann wrote to a friend+ .I have written to newspapers

appealing to persons who knew 5an $ensbrg to send me any information on

him so that I can pblish the trth in my book" I received a letter from <rs" 5an

!yk of 9roonstad who wrote that when the $ebel officers were in the Fort, she

visited her brother, Commandant van #iekerk" There she met General de !et6s

wife retrning from the Fort" <rs" De !et told her she shold also visit Seer

van $ensbrg"

n entering the Fort, <rs" van !yk spotted a man with a long beard standingthere" She then asked+ .Are yo the Seer0 %e replied+ .Kes0 and showed her to

a bench where they sat down" She felt heartbroken and thoght that the

Afrikaners in there wold never be released" She also asked him whether they

wold be released, to which he replied+ .Kes, I think shortly,0 and e2plained+ .I

was sitting on this same bench when I saw a well before me from which food

baskets emerged" I do no nderstand what the vision means" 7t when I see a

vision which I do not nderstand, the ?ord allows me to see it again with

changes ntil I flly nderstand it"0

%e contined+ .I looked throgh that window and once again I saw the well

otside and food baskets emerging from it, and this time I saw my new hat

lying on the table in my home" #ow I nderstand or sffering is the Fort 1the

well3, bt we fill or food baskets and go home, becase I pt on my new hat

and clothes"0 5an $ensbrg contined+ .!hen I saw the well which we were

trapped in, I saw a ladder in the well and I stood on the first rng" There was not

another 9oos de la $ey, a 7eyers or a De !et in the field that cold resce s,

bt we had to look p to God from the bottom of the well to resce s" Amid all

or triblations the ladder was in the well, bt when the spotted pig oneday

stands in the well in England 1famine3, there is no ladder" That is why I knew

we wold be released from here, for we have or ladder" 7t there will be no

help for England dring her oppression/0

According to %arm ost, the Seer had always been 8om6 9lasie, the gentlehmanitarian Christian whose gift of 8seeing6 was not as rare as official

docments reported"

In Die Burger of *th <arch *>, %arm ost described his first meeting with

the Seer 1in 7oksbrg prison3 as follows+ .%e was a frail man, lean as a reslt

of hardship in the veld; his brown beard was long and greying" A real 8back&

velder6 1yokel3, althogh not strdily bilt" %e had large mystic grey eyes, half

wild becase of the new crel environment and even more crel e2pectations"""0

The old 7oer prophet was incarcerated for abot a year B first in 7oksbrg

then in the Fort in (ohannesbrg" %e and %arm ost were together once again,

bt this time they were locked p in separate cells, and %arm ost often heard

the grey&haired 8old6 man 1the Seer was only )* at the time3 tossing on hismattress in the icy cold cell, praying or mttering verses from the 7ible"

%owever, the prophet endred his strggle alone and never complained abot

his lot, even when he was ill"

The English warders belittled, mocked and ill&treated him at every opportnity,

bt he endred all this with sch stoicism and silence that %arm ost wold

still talk abot it years later"

Jnder hose arrest

After the $ebellion, General (an 9emp told of his last day with the Seer in

(anary *>*) when his rebel troops were taken prisoner by the Government

forces at Jping& ton" %e was e2tremely irate and angrily lashed ot against theSeer+ .Kes, what now Kor prophesies were all wrong/0

night I saw a red castle with green grass and red flowers in the front" I see s

arriving at the castle and we do not have to knock" !hile standing there the

door opened and we were led inside where men were preparing food and they

provided s with clothing and shelter"0

9emp said some days later they were taken to the Fort in (ohannesbrg where

he saw a large sare red&brick bilding" In the front garden he saw green grass

and red geranims in fll bloom" The door sddenly opened and they weretaken inside where men were cooking porridge" After having eaten, they were

issed with prison clothing" 9emp sarcastically asked the Seer whether this was

the red castle he had seen/

%owever, #icolaas did not seem to hear him"

That same night the Seer was locked p in a stone cell ne2t to %arm ost" The

mockery and abse he had to endre from the English warders was not nearly

as psetting as the fact that they had confiscated his 7ible and shaved off his

beard the following morning"

ne day he received a visit from a lady who enired whether there was

in the front of the 7ible+ .To 8om6 Seer van $ensbrg, from 9ate 9ock,

Germiston"0

1ne night while in prison he had a strange vision that a friend, ?ois Dohn,

had written in the last three pages of the Seer6s 7ible and was dated *>*" This

vision does not appear in the vision book and with permission from 8om6

#icolaas6 children it is now pblished in complete form in this book3"

?ike the other rebels, 8om6 #icolaas was reired to pay a redemption fine

before being released from prison eleven months later on -th December *>*)"

%owever, he was not a free man yet, as General Smts immediately placed himnder farm arrest and for eight years 1ntil *>3 he cold not even attend a

chrch service withot prior permission from the local magistrate"

The Seer is Depressed

After his release from prison, #icolaas sffered from depression for a time"

%owever, even this condition did not blnt his gift for seeing visions"

Die Burger of *th (ly *>H- reported+ .It was as thogh he became very

reserved, bt more religios and read his 7ible more often and held reglar

Snday services"0

According to this report and personal memories of people who recalled his

8chrch services6, the contents and character of these services followed a fi2ed pattern withot any e2ceptions" !hile his soft grey&ble eyes looked across his

congregation, he cold recite the 7ible te2ts from which he wold deliver his

sermons almost entirely from memory" %e was a calm preacher, bt nonetheless

delivered his message in rich 7iblical metaphor; he em& phasised the most

important words with hand gestres which held his adience captive right to the

end"

<r" (ohannes Gagiano, 1who, as a child, attended these services with his father3

writes as follows+

.!hen the minister was absent" 8om Seer6, as elder of the chrch, often led

the services" %is condct was characteri'ed by his gentleness" <y father often

told me that he spoke to the people rather than preached, and his messagesspoke of the perseverance of faith" %owever, he often spoke abot the

sfferings of Christ" To strengthen their faith, 8om Seer6 constantly reminded



them of the great deeds the ?ord had done for their ancestors, the 7oer nation,

dring the !ar of Freedom and the $ebellion"

Die Burger confirms <r" Gagiano6s words+ .In almost every sermon he also

warned those present to trst in God and not fear the ftre"0 And he cold

reassre and console them reglarly with these words+ .It has been revealed to

me that there is a ftre for this nation of which I am a member and which I

love so dearly" I cannot e2plain it, bt I still see some visions I have seen

before; visions indicating to me that or nation will one day become completelyfree"0 The paper concldes+ .Sometimes he 1in his sermons3 also referred to the

pnishment that lies ahead for the enemies of his people, particlarly England,

which will be infested by plages"0

In ctober *>*H a certain (an 4etrs wrote abot the final split&p between

England and Soth Africa+ A yellow brick and a ble brick 1England and

Germany3 grind against each other withot any effect" 7t when they grind

against each other again, 5an $ensbrg sees a glass fll of wheat with hsks

inside the yellow brick" This time the yellow brick has softened and when the

two bricks part, the yellow one throws the glass with 1now threshed3 wheat to

one side" This means that Germany will defeat England in a ftre war and in

that war the 7oer nation will be prified and 1with German help3 entirely

liberated"

?etters of 4rophecy

The Seer corresponded reglarly with a nmber of people, and according to a

correspondent of Die 7rger 1*th (ly, *>H-3+ ."""some of his letters consisted

entirely of visions he had seen, bt to the ninformed reader they seemed like

meaningless rambling" For e2ample, one letter opens with an interpretation

which makes one come to a conclsion that he mst have written many letters

in which he possibly shared individal visions with different people"

.Sometimes it seems that he gives an interpretation in a letter, of a vision

described to someone else in another letter" ne can only come to the correctconclsion once all his letters have been collected"0

The Farmyard At $ietkil

#icolaas6 granddaghter, <rs" $ia (ames and <r" 7oy <ssmann sketched the

lifestyle of the 5an $ensbrg family after the First !orld !ar+

.#icolaas (anse van $ensbrg, a farmer, made a simple living at $ietkil, in the

!olmaransstad district, in a drab, clay&roofed hose with board windows and

clay walls" There was a ridge behind the little hose and if one stood on top of

this ridge, one cold see the grass sproting ot here and there from the clay

roof" 1It was on this same ridge that the Seer spent many hors dring his last

days with his 7ible3".%is favorite seat was a sheepskin ne2t to a little folding chair in front of the

hose where he kept himself bsy with his cobblers6 tools, mending his and his

family6s shoes; it was there he told many of his visitorsBsome from hndreds

of miles awayBof his wonderfl visions"

.nly the bare necessities were to be fond in the cool, semi&dark kitchen,

sitting&room and bedrooms; a stove with oven; a white&scrbbed kitchen table;

a few chairs made of wood with interlaced strips of rawhide seats, and some

benches, and black iron bedsteads" ?ike in other homes at the time, the floors

consisted of a mi2tre of clay and cow dng which were smeared daily with

warm dng to keep them shining" Simplicity was the trade mark of Seer van

$ensbrg".7t even dring those difficlt times,0 <rs" (ames said+ .Granddad was not so

poverty&stricken as was alleged" <y mother, 1%ester3 provided coffee and food



when visitors arrived" #o gest ever left withot refreshmentsBeven if it was

only coffee and a cooked green mealie 1ear of mai'e/30

5an $ensbrg was never attracted to earthly possessions" %is heart and front

door were always open to visitors; not only for important gests like ministers,

parliamentarians and other high officials who came to learn what he had 8seen6

again, bt particlarly for the poorest among the poor" %is motto was always+

.#aked we came into the world and naked we will leave it"0

The almost worldwide interest in his visions after the $ebellion and First !orld!ar sddenly made a legend of this hmble, nwilling farmer in his lifetime"

1Iniries even came from overseas and the stream of visitors inclded the

criosity&seekers from as far afield as the then #orthern and Sothern $hodesia

BMambia and Mimbabwe" <any prominent English athors also wrote abot

C" The third+ The report of the (dicial Commission of Iniry into the cases

of, and circmstances srronding the recent $ebellion in Soth Africa"

December *>*" A Chosen Committee was appointed for the last iniry"

The prpose of the Chosen Committee was mainly to gather information into

the role played by #icolaas van $ensbrg dring the $ebellion"

A sbstantial amont of information abot the Seer and his visions is incldedin the Goverment6s Blue Boo, of th Febrary *>*), as well as the (dicial

Committee6s investigation, becase rmors were rife that #icolaas van

$ensbrg was the chief instigator and driving force behind the $ebellion"

It was also said that he led a gllible General 9oos de la $ey 1who was off his

head3 by the nose and had a hold over De la $ey in the same manner that

$asptin had a hold over T'arina Ale2andra, inflencing him with his

mysterios evils and dominating him"

If the old prophet, in his simplicity, did not knowingly do so on his own

initiative, it was alleged, he was sed in a calclating manner by anarchists"

1E2tracts from the $eport of the (dicial Commission3+.%e 1the Seer3 seems to have a limitless inflence over the farmers in the

district" !e were told by a witness that shortly before the $ebellion, as many as

ten motor cars cold be seen on a certain day at the 5an $ensbrg6s hose"



.The prophet had no more a dedicated disciple than the late General de la $ey"

%e often related the prophet6s visions to friends and stated his firm belief in

them"

.A farmer, Commandant <arthins van $ensbrg 1no relation3 of the district

!olmaransstad and neighbor of the Seer, testified that as far back as (ly

*>*, dring the first labor strike on the !itwatersrand, the prophet had

visited him and said that this strike was bt the beginning; bt that the main

matter wold be when the fire broke ot in Erope, and that it wold soon begin; then the time wold come when we wold regain or independence"0

n *th Agst *>*H General ?ois 7otha invited his friend and confidant,

9oos de la $ey, to 4retoria for an interview with him and Smts over the

looming $ebellion" General ?ois 7otha testified as follows regarding that

interview+

.(dging from General de la $ey6s condition and behavior it seemed as if he

was in an almost absent&minded state of mindBreacting mainly as a reslt of

the visions of the prophet 5an $ensbrg whom he conslted on a reglar basis"

!hile speaking to me, he wold, for e2ample, sddenly start praying, and time

after time wold retrn to what 5an $ensbrg had predicted" %e continallyrepeated that the prophet had seen that independence wold be retrned to the

contry withot any blood being spilt"""0

?ate that night General de la $ey promised that he wold pacify his men and

rectify matters"

.%owever,0 the Commission contined+ .he became victim of the 1evil3

inflence of the prophet and men like #iewenhis who were determinedBfor

the prpose of rebellionBto make the most of his 1the Seer6s3 great inflence

over the nation"0

1E2tracts from the 7le 7ook of th Febrary *>*)3+ In contrast to the (dicial

Commission6s damning @dgments against 5an $ensbrg, the findings of the

Government were far more sympathetic and at times even favor& able".n varios occasions he 15an $ensbrg3 proved that he was clairvoyant"

Jndobtedly he had a great inflence over thosands of his people""" In an

e2traordinary and seemingly athentic vision he saw the conclsion of peace

which established his reptation 1as prophet3" %is fame spread throghot the

contry and abroad and strange stories of his miraclos gift were told all over"

.General de la $ey showed great interest in the Seer and 5an $ensbrg

harbored great admiration for the General"""0

General hert'og testifies for the Seer

General %ert'og was also asked to testify abot 5an $ensbrg6s 8activites6, and

his replies to estions *>=&- are inclded in the typed report by theChosen Committee abot the $ebellion"

1I hereby give an abridged version of General %ert'og6s evidence3+

It was three months before the Treaty of 5ereeniging, vi'" on th or =th

Febrary *>-" 4resident Steyn was helpless and trapped in his carriage as a

reslt of illness" Accompanied by myself and (ack 7rebner he visited the

!estern Transvaal to conslt a doctor who had been accompanying General de

la $ey" It was in the vicinity of 9lerksdorp and General %ert'og indicated a

place where the esteemed company cold stay over close to a horse trolley

where five or si2 of the general6s staff were staying" The general probably

thoght that the 4resident wold be safest in the company of his alert staff"

%owever, 5an $ensbrg thoght otherwise""" The day after or arrival the slightfigre appeared at 4resident Steyn6s wagon and advised him in his shy manner"

%e considered this stopping place to be ha'ardos and said the 4resident shold

rather leave" %owever, 4resident Steyn was not prepared to ignore General de la



$ey6s orders" then 5an $ensbrg said+ .I have had a vision" I see the English

colmns captring these men"0 1The staff at the trolley3" %e indicated in a

certain direction+ .I have seen the scots over there"""0

The 4resident still refsed" And it was only after General de la $ey personally

reested him to pay attention to 8om6 #icolaas6 warning that the esteemed

company moved to another location" They were only @st in the nick of time, as

shortly afterwards the English forces strck and among others captred General

de la $ey6s staff""" 1(st as 8om #icolaas had predicted3"The evidence of many other people was also heard by the Chosen Committee,

bt in its final report, the Chosen Committee admitted that it cold find no solid

evidence of the accsations against 5an $ensbrg, and the 7oer prophet6s

simple and childlike integrity remained solid against every accsation; his

strange gift of clair&voyance contined to remain a mystery"""

The Tragic Death of General 7otha

The otbreak of the Great 6Fl Epidemic dring *>*= not only had a tragic

beginning, bt also a tragic ending"

A friend and confidant of 5an $ensbrg said that even before the otbreak of!orld !ar I, the Seer had warned that General ?ois 7otha wold trn his back

on the 7oer nation" %e said+

.After receiving self&rle in *>*-, the nation held prayer meetings so that the

?ord wold show s the right man to be elected as 4rime <inister" At the time

we had to choose between 7otha and <erriman" 7otha lost the election"

%owever, we gave him the seat at ?osberg and elected him 4rime <inister"

For years later 1*>*H3 this same 7otha e2ected all the 7oer generals, who had

done their dty dring the Second !ar of Freedom becase they did not want to

shed innocent German blood and move the national bo"ndaries" After that,

General 7otha imprisoned all the officers in the Fort and the reglar brghers in

the 9affir componds at 9imberley"

.It was then 8om6 9lasie said to me+ 8If we had acted according to or prayers

and elected <erriman as 4rime <inister, there never wold have been a

$ebellion" 7t even when 7otha lost ot, we wold not listen, and now the

?ord is pnishing s for or sins by sing this same 7otha"60

The Great 8Fl Epidemic

8om #icolaas e2plained frther+ .I see a black block being pshed by a hand

from Cape Town across the contry" !hen the block has vanished, I see people

in morn& ing clothes"0

In reply to a estion whether a disaster was abot to occr over the nation, and

what cold be done abot it, the Seer said+ .Kes, brother, it will be somethingterrible, and it will be a time of faith and prayer"0

After the $ssian $evoltion of *>*, $ssia srrendered and in *>*=

Germany tilised these troops to lanch a new attack on the !est" In (ne, 4aris

was in danger again as at the start of the war" General 7otha was worried that

England cold lose against Germany if America did not enter the war" !hile

negotiations were in progress, a shipload of English coloreds on leave entered

Cape Town" 7ecase an inflen'a epidemic was raging on board, they were

reested to anchor otside the harbor"

The harbor athorities asked General 7otha whether the ship cold enter

harbor and dock or whether it shold wait ntil the epidemic had rn its

corse" General 7otha sent a telegraph, permitting the passengers to land, en@oy

their holiday and then retrn to England"



Shortly after, the worst 8fl epidemic in the history of the contry broke otB

and in one month abot - --- sols died as a reslt" In *>*> General 7otha

went down with 8fl and despite receiving every medical treatment, it was all in

vain"

!hile he was ill, General 7otha remembered how he had captred the $ebels

1fellow&7oers3 and had them shot becase they refsed to fight against innocent

Germans to anne2 German !est for England" As 8om6 9lasie said+ .General

7otha wasn6t like Smts" Smts is a yellow dog with a white collar" %e is acomplete Englishman and only has a 7oer name 1white collar3, bt General

7otha still has feelings 1a 7oer heart3 for the 7oer nation"""0

1E2tract from a letter by 7oy <ssmann3+ Shortly after General 7otha died, I

was visiting 8om6 9lasie" I asked him+ .!hy did yo not tell me abot

General 7otha6s passing away I thoght yo always told me everything"0 %e

replied+ .I told yo abot the man descending a ladder 1his leadership is past3

and I see how his clothes become threadbare and fall off 1a sign that he wold

commit sicide, becase3+ he falls backward and dies" Then bees attack him"0

I said+ .7t yo did not tell me it was 7otha0 %is reply was+ .I am telling yo

now" The only mistake I made was in thinking that he was being attacked by bees" They were maggots, becase after all those in@ections, 7otha6s body

wold srely trn rotten"0

I arrived in !olmaransstad where $everend 5an der %orst smmoned me and

said+ .!henever yo come to !olmaransstad, yo always visit the Seer" !hat

does he say0 I told him the whole story as I have written it to yo" $everend

5an der %orst then said+ .?ast night I retrned from 4retoria" General 7otha6s

corpse was lying in State in the chrch" It had become so rotten that the chrch

had to be disinfected and the coffin lined with lead" #ow I ask+ !hy was he not

embalmed Is it becase the news might leak ot abot what really happened

1to the General, that he did not die a natral death3 That he committed a deed

for which no Statesman wold receive a State fneral" Cold a person believethat General 7otha had committed sicide 1becase of the wrongs he had done

(an SmtsBthe Color of Treason

In *>*, 4" Imker %oogenhot, son of the national poet, C"4" %oogenhot, was

inspector of schools at !olma& ransstad" %e and Seer van $ensbrg became

close friends"

In an article in Die Brandwag 1a national weekly maga'ine3, he wrote+ .I havemet many illstrios people in my life" %owever, it was among the hmble that

I met someone who made a lasting impression on meB8om6 #icolaas van

$ensbrg, the Seer" %e was one of very few people who wold make sch a

great and lasting impression on me"0

$ight from the time they first met he wanted to know from 5an $ensbrg

whether it was tre that he saw visions"

.Kes, cosin,0 the old man replied+ .7t sometimes I cannot e2plain the

visions" n other occasions they are so clear that I know immediately what they

represent"0

The conversation eventally trned to the tense conditions in Erope, and

Imker %oogenhot was astonded at the old the Seer6s knowledge and insightinto matters on the world front" After 5an $ensbrg had left, the $everend van

der %orst arrived and <r" %oogenhot wanted to know from him whether the



Seer perhaps received newspapers from overseas, as he was aware of events

which did not appear in the local press"

?aghingly the minister replied+ .5an $ensbrg has never read a newspaper in

his life/0

It was only then the Inspector realised what wonderfl gift that hmble, simple

old man was blessed with and he started making iniries among the people

abot #icolaasBwho and what he was"

%e was told by a local lawyer, Sam Gordon, that he often visited the Seer on his

farm, $ietkil, and that his kind were few and far between+ .For althogh 5an

$ensbrg is a poor man, he will give his last farthing to help his neighbor" I

have often cationed him not to do this, as people are taking advantage of his

goodness"0

.Ach, <ister Gordon, they probably need the money more than I do, otherwise

they wold not have asked me for it,0 5an $ensbrg wold reply in his calm

manner" Gordon added+ .7t that is not all" %e is also a great patriot throgh

marrow and bone and will not hesitate to sacrifice his life for his contry if

reired to do so"0

At the time, prior to the amalgamation between Smts and %ert'og, few votershad any time for Smts and one day a farmer e2pressed his anti&Smts feelings

in no ncertain terms in the presence of 5an $ensbrg"

The Seer admonished him, saying one does not speak badly abot one6s

neighbor" %e 1Gordon3 then told %oogenhot and those standing arond abot

the vision #icolaas had seen abot Smts and %ert'og+ .?ook, I have seen a

vision where they crawl ot of an ant&bear hole, meaning one day they will seek

shelter in a sanctary"""0 1This vision was flfilled when %ert'og and Smts

formed their coalition government in *>3"

Imker %oogenhot concldes his notes abot the Seer as follows+ .A prophet is

not honored in his own contry, bt the same cold not be said of 5an

$ensbrg" I lived in !olmaransstad for five years and never heard a single person denigrating him" To me he was an e2ample of the hmble to whom

things, which were hidden from the wise, were revealed"0

For A 7owl of ?entil Sop

As far back as *>*- with the formation of Jnion, 5an $ensbrg had already

seen Smts and 7otha selling ot the 7oer nation to England for 8a pot of lentil

sop"6 1This old Afrikaans idiom refers to someone selling their birthright3" %is

granddaghter, <rs" $ia (ames, told of this vision+ .Grandfather saw how ?ois

7otha, (an Smts and General %ert'og, all dressed in brown sits, 1the color

of the 7oer nation3 went to England" n their retrn, however, 7otha and Smts

were dressed in khaki 1the color of betrayal3 and only General %ert'og wasstill dressed in brown"0

At the time 5an $ensbrg was one of few who warned that the Jnion wold

one day become the led horse of the 7ritish Empire, bt nobody wold listen"

This all began when 7otha presented the Cllinan diamond to the 7ritish $oyal

%ose, after which he e2changed his 7oer niform for knickerbockers and silk

stockingsBsomething which Smts had done long ago" From then they were

not to be trsted by the 7oers"

.The re@ection of %ert'og as Cabinet <inister was proof of this,0 said Dr"

<"C"9" van Schoor"

And the attack on German !est three years later 1*>*H3 came as no srprise to

the Seer" .!hen the grass trns green, we will fight again0 he repeatedlywarned since the smmer of *>**" .I see were are marching to German !est in

the north and it will be a bitter battle"0



This battle was bt the first phase of the 7ritish campaign with which the 7oer

cold not associate himself; becase in the process the 7oer nation wold be

compelled to make heavy sacrifices for the Empire"

In the book of visions, the Seer gives the following two descriptions of Smts+

*3 I see a red&brown beast standing in (ohannesbrg, looking eastward, and he

sddenly becomes very lean" a $ed beast is the color of England; a brown one

is or color, so a red&brown beast is nothing other than a degenerate 7oer""" 3

General Smts is a yellow dog wearing a white collar" If one entices a dog awayfrom its original owner with morsels of food, he eventally bites the master

who reared him" In the same manner Smts was enticed away from his nation

with money and honor" #ow England has the dog and we have the collarBso

it is written in the 7ible"

In *> General Smts called a meeting at ?ichtenbrg" 8om6 9lasie 8saw6 his

best hat lying on the table on stage with General Smts and he immediately

realised he wold be attending this meeting, bt cold not imagine why he

wold be doing so" The magistrate at ?ichtenbrg, <r" Graham Gos, visited the

Seer and told him that General Smts reested his presence at the meeting"

Dring the meeting Smts bestowed honors on the old national father 15an$ensbrg3 who had honored him with his presence" After the meeting had

ad@orned, he and Smts drank tea together and Smts once again emphasised

how pleased he was to see him"

.!hy then, General0 The Seer asked, althogh he cold gess why"

.7ecase I need yor advice" Tell me, how can I bridge the chasm, which is

growing wider by the day, between myself and the 7oer nation, to bring

healing0

The Seer shook his head+ .Ko won6t take my advice, General"0

Then Smts pleaded with him+ .Tell me what I mst do and I will do it, even if

it costs me my life/0

After a long silence, the Seer replied softly, bt clearly+ .Dissolve 4arliamentand call an election, and if yo win, yo6ll know that the nation is behind yo"

7t things cannot contine as they presently stand"""0

At the end of *> 8om6 #icolaas wrote to 7oy <ssmann+ .If yo will fetch

me here and bring me back, I will celebrate Dingaan6s Day with yo this year"

1Dingaan6s day, renamed Day of the 5ow and even more recently, Day of

$econciliation nder A#C rle, is a pblic holiday established on December

*th *==, in commemoration of the victory of the 5oortrekkers over Dingane

and his Mls at the 7attle of 7lood $iver" The 5oortrekkers made a vow with

God that shold they win, they and their generations to come wold celebrate

this day as a Sabbath"And while retrning after the service, the Seer told <ssmann that on his

advice, General Smts intended dissolving 4arliament and calling an election"

<ssmann wold not believe this and said Smts wold never resign"

.%e will,0 the Seer replied convincingly+ .becase I see myself chopping down

the thorn bsh standing in the way of the nation, then I see the harvester

threshing the mai'e so that the leaves go flying in all directionsBthis is the

coming election and then we, the #ational 4arty, will be in power"

%owever, wherever the Seer mentioned this, people laghed at him" .It is

impossible for the #ational 4arty to win an election, becase Smts not only

has a hge ma@ority over the #ational 4arty and other grops, bt last year

1*>3 he had all the workers shot in the interest of the mining magnatesB those same magnates will give him money to ensre he will win sch an

election,0 <ssmann said"



5an $ensbrg stared ahead and replied+ .I see ears of sorghm wheat 1money3

taking on a hman shape" They sddenly disappear and a naked person stands

thereBthat is General Smts" %e will lose despite all his money" Frthermore, I

see when Smts dissolves 4arliament, five <erino rams come p from the Cape

colonyBthey have been shorn" this means that five <inisters will not get

parliamentary seats againBDe !et, <ent', Frans <alan and General Smts

himself" 7ecase I see a 7oer boot 1a 7oer government3 and I also see a

thatched roof home 1a 7oer 4arliament3"""General Smts dissolved 4arliament in *>H, called an election and lost it" 7t

General %ert'og wanted Smts back in 4arliament and reested that he stand

nopposed dring a by&election in Standerton"

5an $ensbrg was very pset abot this and said+ .#ow %ert'og is making the

biggest mistake of his life and an idol of Smts/ 0The ?ord %imself decreed

that Smts mst fall ot and now %ert'og wants him back there/ The 7oer

nation will live to regret this, becase I see the thatched hose moldering and I

see Smts and %ert'og crawling into an ant&bear hole togetherBthey will nite,

#icolaas van $ensbrg saw this vision in #ovember *>- and spoke to hischildren and friends abot it on several occasions, saying he saw it as the 8birth

it often happened that the livestock enclosre lower down wold be overrn

sheep were advancing from that direction" A stone hose stands on the western

A Dark Clod ver (ohannesbrg

Abot si2 months before the death of General de !et, 5an $ensbrg, while

visiting a school principal, <r" Gert <alan, told him, as well as a %ollander,<r" Cornelis 9rger, that he wold miraclosly escape from nder a dark

clod hanging over (ohannesbrg"

The Seer did not know e2actly what this meant, bt he saw General de !et

riding soth from 7loemfontein with thosands of people following him" At the

same time he saw the dark clod over (ohannesbrg" %e then looked at <r"

9rger and said+ .Dtchman, yo are also nder that dark clod, bt the ?ord

At the same time the great strike took place in (ohannesbrg" <r" 9rger had

to attend matters of bsiness in 4retoria and on arriving at 7loemfontein station,



a clerk warned him that he was proceeding frther at his own risk" 7efore the

railway carriages and wagons damaged by the strikers, and as the train plled in

at 4ark station, (ohannesbrg, wild shooting and the droning of aeroplanes

greeted him" %owever, he reached 4retoria safely" 7t on retrning to

Dewetsdorp, only a troop train was available and they wold only reach

Germiston at eight o6clock that evening, as every now and then the troops were

engaged in fights with the strikers" 9rger had to spend the night in an hotelopposite the station" The commanding officer who issed him with a pass said+

The Depression Kears

Shortly before his death in *> the Seer had a vision which strongly reminds

one of the dream of 4haraoh of Egypt in connection with the seven fat andseven lean cows+ .In the morning I see two white horses coming to gra'e in the

The Second !orld !ar

<r" <ssmann writes+ . A few years after the end of !orld !ar I, a German

artilleryman told someone in Schwei'er&$eneke that after the 9rpp Armsfactory had closed down according to conditions laid down at the Treaty of

5ersailles, the best German e2perts were working in $ssian arms factories,

and even then visali'ed the contination of hostilities 1!!I3"

In the light of this, at first opportnity we went to visit #icolaas van $ensbrg

and asked whether he cold see anything pointing to a possible co&operation

between $ssia and Germany" %e told s+

.I see teams, teams of o2en coming down soth from the far north of Erope,

each team being led by two ble o2en"0

From this we dedced that the two contries wold one day collaborate and that

German officers 1ble lead o2en3 wold command the raw, illiterate $ssiantroops" And when the Treaty of Friendship 1non&aggression3 was signed

between Germany and $ssia on rd Agst *>>, all dobts were dispelled"

?ater the vision was literally flfilled at the precise placeBe2actly as 5an

$ensbrg had seen it"

Germany and $ssia were engaged in conflict from the Arctic cean in the

north to the 7lack Sea in the soth" They 1the ble o2en3 took the initiative and

military leadership 8against6 the $ssians and not 8over6 them, and $manians,

%ngarians, Slovaks, Finns, %ollanders, French, Spaniards, Italians, etc",

1teams of o2en3 were drawn into the war whether they liked it or not"

The 7oers and the nd !orls !ar

The 7oer nation wold once again be pt into a crsh pen when General (anSmts called for them to take p arms for the 7ritish Empire" 5an $ensbrg had

already foreseen this more than two decades earlier and said the same thing

wold happen as did before !!I when the same Smts and ?ois 7otha



declared war against Germany" %owever, 7otha wold not be there and Smts

now pinned his hopes on General %ert'og" 5an $ensbrg had warned the nation

not to follow Smts, adding that %ert'og wold not stay with Smts ntil the

end, which wold mean the end of his 1%ert'og6s3 political career"

<r" <ssmann writes+ .%owever, or nation ignores these warnings" I also

oted the Seer6s word at Senekal+ 0r nation will be divided and narmed"L

#orthern and Sothern $hodesia

Shortly before his death, 5an $ensbrg 8saw6 how England wold first lose

German East 1Tanganyika3, followed by #orthern and Sothern $hodesia+ .I

see small and large red cattle 1the English3 fleeing from 9enya and #yasaland

<ssmann writes+ .#ow I6m asking why the red cattle are not fleeing to sThey do not come here becase the English refer to s as the 8Dirty 7oers6"

!hen the conflict between black and white started in the 7elgian Congo 1Maire3

northern neighbor states were taken over by black dictators and Africa6s Dar,

and he anne2ed 7echanaland 4rotectorate 1now 7otswana3, etc"60

ne of the cases for the nrest in the 1then3 7elgian Congo was

nemployment and the hasty actions of France when it granted independence to

the Congo6s northern neighboring states" The Congo was not prepared or

eipped for the repblic which had to be created hapha'ardly within si2

months" 4atrice ?mmba became the first prime minister of the independent

repblic" %owever, scarcely five days later rebellion broke ot among the

armed forces and speedily deteriorated into bloody attacks on white farmers in

particlar" A mass e2ods of whites began"

The 4anga&EraAngola has a long and complicated history, bt the revoltion which the Seer

spoke abot, broke ot on Hth Febrary *>* when <4?A militants stormed

?anda prisons with pangas 1bsh knives3 in an attempt to free political



prisoners" They were nsccessfl, bt it was the start of a long and bloody

conflict" Terrorists from the erstwhile Congo streamed across the northern

border into Angola and mrdered hndreds of whites, as well as non&whites"

At the time these mrderers where known as J4A 1panga gangs3 and later

became known as F#?A" Then the revoltion and liberation strggle began"

?ater it seemed as if the dst wold settle, bt this was a deceptive calm, as

shortly thereafter hostilities between the <4?A and J#ITA broke ot and

degenerated into a long drawn&ot bsh war"

ne of the few eyewitnesses who srvived an attack by the panga gangs was

Macharia, a timber transporter who arrived at the ?vo sawmill with his

assistant at dawn on *)th <arch *>* to load timber at this border&post

between Angola and the Congo repblic"

Macharia had a premonition that all was not well and stopped at the entrance to

?vo to wait and see" %e and his assistant spotted blacks dressed in long coats

standing arond among the hoses of the town6s H inhabitants and wondered

what was going on" Sddenly the war cry+ .<ata/ J4A/ <ata/ J4A/0 rang ot"

At almost the same time he and his assistant heard wild cries of terror from the

whites" %astily they soght refge in an empty crate on the trck and helplesslywatched as a horde of some -- black terrorists dragged all H whites ot of

their hoses, attacked them with pangas and sawed them to pieces on one of the

giant mechanical bandsaws while still alive"

#ot far from there, the little town of Uite2e, north of Carmona in the coffee&

rich district of Jige in #orthern Angola, was also a target of the terrorist grop

who had disgised themselves as early byers" At e2actly eight o6clock, as soon

as the last chimes from the chrch bells died down and the shops opened for the

many black byers waiting in the main road, the slaghter began"

7t in the same manner as Macharia, the blockman and btcher of Uite2e also

had a premonition that something was wrong and he stopped his wife from

opening the doors of the btchery to let cstomers in" %e had a gt feeling andsent his daghter to fetch their firearms"

.She had @st retrned,0 he said+ .when all hell broke loose in town" The

terrorists6 war&cries 0<ata/ J4A/ <ata/ J4A/L mingled with the fearfl

screaming of whites and that morning my daghter and I mowed down

nmeros blacks as they angrily tried to break down the doors of the btchery"

In the meantime I cold see throgh an opening how my white friends and their

families ot there were being maimed, decapitated and ct to pieces"

.Fortnately we had a lot of ammnition and we scared away the attackers"

.!hen a division of soldiers arrived from Carmona that afternoon, my wife, my

daghter and I were the only srvivors in Uite2e"""0Srely it was no coincidence that Macharia and the btcher, as well as other

whites who srvived the blood bath on the morning of *)th <arch *>*, had a

premonition that all was not well"

The interesting estion whether the Seer van $ensbrg might not have had a

similar ne2plained premonition when he warned 7oy <ssmann with these

words+ ."""look, or day is coming too, bt for s who knows what is going to

happen and how or salvation will come, it will not be so bad as for those who

do not know"0

The $evoltion Spreads Sothwards

After independence in the Congo, the revoltion started in the sothern states" It

spread frther and frther soth ntil it crossed or bondaries" Afrikaners havelong been aware that blacks in Sothern, as well as the rest of Africa are

Dr" 5erwoerd was virtally forced to leave the Commonwealth" 1They psh one

of or men ot of the front door3" In his farewell speech in ?ondon, Dr"

5erwoerd said+ .I was shocked and overwhelmed by the hostile spirit prevailing

against Soth Africa""" opposition is based on the so&called 8discrimination6 we practise in Soth Africa" 7t this hostility came from contries where the

principles of so&called democracy is totally absent"""0

The rear wall seen by 5an $ensbrg to collapse, indicates that the

Commonwealth will lose its inflence and spport and will probably e2ist in

name only" 1!ith the establishment of the 8Jnited States of Erope6 in the near

ftre, it is not nlikely that the Commonwealth will dissolve3"

%owever, there wold be a period of peace and prosperity for the 7oer

1sddenly there is bright light3"

7lood $ns t of <y !alking Stick

=th (ly *>*>+ I leaned on my walking stick and a small vein opened at the

bottom of it and blood ran on to the grond and on to my shoe" Then a sheet of

corrgated iron came loose from the beam and I saw the sky" The sheet retrned

to the beam and the walls of the hose were high"

This gripping prophecy abot the assassination of Dr" 5erwoerd is ndobtedly

one of the Seer6s most significant visions in so far as it concerns the history and

ftre of the 7oer nation" It does not only indicate the tramatic end of a

particlar era in the history of the nation, bt also the beginning of instability

where it will move away from its 8original ideals and aims"6

7efore interpreting the vision, it may be appropriate to look at some of the most

important symbols appearing in it"

The first symbol is my wal,ing stic, " Two items the old 7oer prophet woldnever be seen withot were his walking stick and his hat" !e already know that

his hat signified government" %is walking stick had a dal meaning" Firstly, it

cold serve as a weapon and secondly, it signified something very close to a

personBa spport, in other words, a confidante or something 1or somebody3

one cold always rely on"

The ne2t two symbols, vein and shoe or boot indicate violence and a 7oer head

of Government 1or 7oer Government3" The meaning of other symbols sch as

corrugated sheeting , beam, s,y and walls will become clear in the statement

below"

Dimitrio Tsafendas

n Tesday, th September *>, at "*H p"m", while the bells of 4arliament

were ringing, a H>&year old Greek, Dimitrio Tsafendas, stabbed Dr" 5erwoerd to

death with a silver&bladed dagger in the Concil Chamber" Althogh Tsafendas



was declared mentally nstable by a cort, it seemsBaccording to the Seer6s

visionBthe assassination was not only meticlosly planned beforehand, bt

that a close confidant of Dr" 5erwoerd was also directly involved" ($$$a vein

opened up at the bottom of my wal,ing stic, and blood ran on to the ground

and on my shoe'$ The wal,ing stic, ( violence ' that leaves the Seer6s shoe

bloodied 17oer head of Government3 springs directly from his personal stick

1spport or confidante3"

ne only has to look at the many nsolved and enigmatic aspects of theassassination of Dr" 5erwoerd for which there have never been satisfactory

e2planations, to realise that there cold be more behind his death than the blind

obsession of a distrbed man" I name bt a few+

R According to informed sorces, Dr" 5erwoerd was to deliver

an important speech before 4arliament on *Hth September *>, stating that the

mining indstry wold in ftre have to pay the same ta2 1H)V3 as did other

companies, instead of only V, at the same time drastically redcing whites6

ta2es"

R Two months before the mrder Tsafendas said he cold not

leave Soth Africa before he had completed a 8certain task6"R Tsafendas was in contact with ndergrond grops overseas

and shortly before the mrder he received a message that 8the time was almost

ripe6"

R Secrecy still srronds the manner in which 1and reasons

why3 an e2&convict like Tsafendas with a criminal record was appointed as a

parliamentary messenger after he had already been deported from Greece,

4ortgese East Africa and America" In 4ortgese East Africa he spent a long

time in prison where he was brainwashed, after which he smggled himself into

Soth Africa by hiding on a goods train"

R n Friday, nd September 1for days before the

assassination of Dr" 5erwoerd3 a 7ritish ?iberal candidate, <r" Allan ?omas,stood waiting at the Dieppe&#ewhaven ferry to by coffee when a yong man

approached him and asked+ .Is there any news in the paper abot the

assassination of Dr" 5erwoerd0 adding that he did not have money to by a

newspaper" <r" ?omas ickly paged throgh his morning newspaper, saw

nothing and gave the paper to the yong man" 1Did something go wrong that

Tsafendas cold only commit the mrder for days later3, and &

R Tsafendas repeatedly asked the chief messenger permission

to take the newspaper to the Concil chamber, bt each time he was refsed"

!ho then gave him permission to enter the Concil chamber

This, then, concerning the mrder of Dr" 5erwoerd"The rest of the Seer6s vision can be smmed p as follows+ After Dr"

5erwoerd6s mrder, things began changing" .Then a sheet of corrgated iron

came loose from the beam" The #ational 4arty e2panded its policy bondaries

and began moving away from apartheid 1and then I saw the sky3" %owever,

after a passage of time it 1the Government3 will attempt to retrn to the old

ways 1the sheet then retrned to the beam3, bt the changes were irretractable,

4arliament is bigger and also incldes other grops now0 1 """the walls of the

It is very interesting to note that the Seer speaks of the 8same sign6 here" In

other words, he 8saw6 that in the distant ftre there wold be another division

as the one between 7otha and %ert'og"

Seer himself lived throgh the first division+Dring General ("7"<" %ert'og6s famos De !ildt speech on th December

*>*, he spelled ot the principle of 8Soth Africa first6" %e also condemned

7otha6s 7ritish immigration policy, evoking sch a fierce proar that 7otha

kicked him ot of his cabinet" %owever, the final split between them came two

years later when General %ert'og left the Soth African 4arty and fonded the

#ationalist 4arty" %e was also elected as the first #4 leader" !hile the #4 grew

from strength to strength, the S"A" 4arty died a lingering death and finally

disappeared in *>=-"

Compare these events with the 8second division6 some )) years later" The

parallels are so remarkable as to be almost ncanny" The for main themes of

the 8first division6 are present once again, vi'" a speech; an omission from thecabinet; the fonding of a new political 4arty and a rling 4arty losing its

inflence after division and eventally dying"

In *>> Dr" Albert %ert'og delivered his so&called 8Cal& vanistic6 speech in

4arliament, casing one of the biggest commotions in political circles since the

#4 came into power in *>H=" In his speech he compared the Afrikaner6s piety,

honesty, @stice and love of freedom with that of the liberal otlook of the

English" The circmstances nder which the speech took place, were

srprisingly similar to those when General %ert'og gave his speech at De !ildt

in *>*"

And, as was the case with his father at the time, Dr" %ert'og was also 8thrown6ot of cabinet by the rling 4arty when Advocate (ohn 5orster left him ot

disappearance of the rling 4arty 1#43 which was deserted by Dr" Albert

1<r ?ois DWhne, of $eit', was also a cell&mate of the Seer in the Fort in

7oksbrg after the doomed $ebellion of *>*H" <r" DWhne wrote down the

saw one night3"

<rs" $ia (ames, the Seer6s granddaghter, sent me this vision, as well as

spplying some details of the strggle in Angola" I will deal with only the first

part of the vision, as it refers to certain events dring the decade after the

mrder of Dr" 5erwoerd"The 7order !ar

Vision+ I dreamed that a chrch is close to my home, bt the minister is not

there" 1The Chrch is still present, bt spiritally it is dead3" The wagons are

plled p in two rows; I am seated among women and a little girl of abot =

years old gets p and says+ 8look towards the west"6 1The women and children

wold literally be left behind in a ftre war, while the men wold have to fight

far from home" Jndobtedly this refers to the conflict on or northern borders3"

The long&contined conflict on or northern border, as well as the Cban

8incident6 is almost forgotten today, e2cept for those who lost loved ones,

family members or friends there" (dging from a letter I received from <r"Danie Esterhi'en of Jpington, it does seem if 5an $ensbrg also foresaw this

event in or history+

.n *>th December *>H, I accompanied my father to visit the Seer, who was

ill, at $ietkil" n or arrival 5an $ensbrg told my father he was e2pecting s"

<y father then asked him what was still to happen in the ftre"

%is reply was+ .Commandant, I see things, bt they will only take place in the

distant ftre" I see a yellow stream strggling to seep throgh the northern

border of German !est" I then see Jnion soldiers rnning across the bridge at

Jpington like springbok to the yellow stream" Then the stream disappears into

the sand" This means they will be involved in heavy fighting against the enemy"

At first they fight like enraged blls and drive each other across the border rightinto Angola" 1!hen my father asked him what the blls looked like, he said+ It

is a black&and&white bll 1black and white soldiers3 and a red one 1the Cbans3"

The red bll is the victor, bt I see he is deeply wonded"

.This vision was flfilled in the *>=-6s when Soth African troops passed

Jpington in their $atels 1military vehicles3" They came in sch long colmns

that one cold drive past them for )- km" %ere in Jpington we saw them for

days, taking in fel and provisions, after which they disappeared in clods of

dst" They foght with the Soth !est African troops against the Cbans, bt

lost the battle" The Seer was rightBCba was also deeply wonded and we saw

how their wonded were transported back to Cba"""0

America, 5ietnam and Saddam %ssein

n th April *>*=, 5an $ensbrg saw the following vision+

American o2en 1white&backed o2en3 go east and there is a small leader in front"

The leader wants to go west, bt the o2en refse to obey and they start

bnching in a circle"

The mention of a leader indicates that American forces 1white&backed o2en3 are

waging war, bt not on fll strength" Their 8going east6 is ndobtedly seen as

America6s involvement in the drawn&ot 5ietnamese war in Soth East Asia" At

first in *>)H there was only an American military advisory grop, bt in *>) it

became obvios that Soth 5ietnam cold only sstain Commnist infiltration

from the north with the help of a strong American presence" And so a fritlesswar started which wold last for ten years" %owever, in the corse of time,

conflict flared p in American circles when 4resident #i2on wan& ted to

contine the war at all costs 1the leader wants to go west, bt the o2en refse to



obeyBthere was strong resistance3" <atters reached a trning point when

Congress refsed to allocate additional fnds for the 5ietnam war" #orth

5ietnam immediately contined the war with renewed vigor and on *-th

<arch that year they gained a decisive victory by captring the capital city of

the Darlak province" Thosands of American troops had to be evacated from

Saigon by means of a massive air&bridge nder chaotic conditions 1"""they start

bnching in a circle3"

Collapse of the 7erlin !allJnrest also started growing in $ssia dring the early *>=-6s" The oppressed

$ssians and other nations who lived nder Commnism, revolted sporadically

ntil that historic day in *>=> when the !all of Shame dividing !est and East

Germany was torn down and people re@oiced throghot Erope" %owever, the

festivities did not last long, as n&controlled masses of aliens streamed across

the borders of Germany, emptying the treasry and nemployment became rife"

Then sddenly #a'ismBto the consternation of a peace&seeking worldBreared

its head again after H- years"

These skirmishes between Germans and 8aliens6 were bt the opening salvos of

the pending revoltion" 1The pot of fire old the Seer saw in $ssia3"The East 7loc contries on whose necks the yoke of Commnism had been

chafing since *>*, also started calling for freedom and independence, and the

fires of revoltion were springing p everywhere" The !est held its collective

breath and waited for the 9remlin to ell this resistance with its sal show of

force, as it had done in %ngary in *>) and C'echoslovakia in *>=" %owever,

this time it wold not scceed, for $ssia was bankrpt and faced the worst

poverty and misery in its history" Therefore it had no option bt to e2ploit the

!est6s greatest weakness, hmanism, for its own benefit" Gorbachev srprised

the whole world by plling back the Iron Crtain and e2tending a hand of

friendship to 4resident $onald $eagan of America, and, tre to form, America,

withot thinking twice, embraced Commnism on behalf of the whole westernworld+ A man emerges from the east" %is watch&chain sparkles in the sn"

Spectre of Terror"

%manity always yearns for something ot of reach, particlarly if it holds the

promise of inflential friends, stats, wealth or fame" In the same vein 5an

$ensbrg6s peers wold also have loved to say that they were 8friends6, or even

8acaintances6 of leaders and well&loved national figres of that periodB

figres sch as General Smts, 7arry %ert'og, and the $ebels 9oos de la $ey,

Christiaan de !et, 9ris@an 7eyers (an 9emp and %arm ost" There were others

too, like Imker %oogenhot, Dr" Tielman $oos and Dr" %"D" van 7roekhi'en"

The Seer never soght the friendships, stats or fame of these people" %e

looked past these attribtes as thogh they did not e2ist and merely accepted

them as people" And with few e2ceptions 1as with General de la $ey3, it was

they who visited him at his home" After his death a newspaper reported that at

times no less than ten vehicles were to be seen parked in 8om6 #icolaas6 yard"

%owever, not everyone who visited him, really nderstood him, or were

interested in investigating his spirital world" <any went there prely ot of

criosity, @st to 8hear what the old the Seer had to say6" And when they did not

nderstand his metaphorical speech and strange symbols, they left disappointed

or angry"Ket, every one who had some contact with the old Seer, had to admit that he

was someone special and a real prophet; as E2&4resident 4"!" 7otha so aptly

e2pressed after a short meeting in *>H, 8he was as one who was called6"



%owever, the visions abot the ftre of his people which 5an $ensbrg saw,

were not always meant for everybody6s ears/

9eep It Secret/

In a letter written by <r" 7oy <ssmann to <rs" S"<" van Tonder of %eilbron

in *>), he writes that certain information disclosed to him by 5an $ensbrg

was of sch a natre that he wold not convey it to all and sndry, becase he

was afraid of casing panic, and certain people wold make life very difficlt

for him" As he pt it+ .I tell these things only to the most reliable people, and please keep it secret, otherwise it will be said I am creating panic, or give

reasons for e2acerbating it"0

<rs" 5an Tonder and her father, <r" 7orman, were his confidants and <r"

<ssmann revealed some of these visions to them" In this manner we get a

clearer pictre of the 8dark times6 which will become reality when a big

1labor3 strike is lanched in the distant ftre" The Seer said in *>)+ .Then

1when the strike begins3 there will be big problems with the 89affir6 and

8coolies6, besides the trobles overseas 1racial conflict and dangers of civil

wars3" In connection with the 89affir6 troble, I saw women fleeing" They do

not even have time to close their windows and the crtains are blowingotwards"""

.This big strike will ring in the 8war6 on the East $and, and the sitation in the

Eastern Cape will have deteriorated to sch an e2tent that whites will flee from

cities like 4ort Eli'abeth and East ?ondon"""0

According to the vision, some of them will @oin the Commnist 4arty and take

p arms against the 7oers"

.Then we 1the 7oers3 will go to 5ereeniging" The enemy is sitting tight in

#orthern Transvaal and #orthern Free State, while Sothern Transvaal, Free

State and Cape, march to 4rieska to fetch arms"""0

they stopped to let the horses rest, 5an $ensbrg lay down some distance from

Dr" Servaas $ossow, at the time a 1chrch3 minister of Cape Town, was

travelling in the company of an elder and a deacon to !olmaransstad to go andmeet 5an $ensbrg" Dr" $ossow did not believe in the Seers visions, and if he

was not a minister, 5an $ensbrg might not even have wanted to speak to him

and his two chrch concil members abot the visions" %owever, he did so, and

the old Seer6s prophetic revelation impressed him so mch that he accrately

wrote everything down+

.In the year *>- dring my service in Cape Town0, Dr" $ossow wrote+ .I

?ike 4ieces In A (igsaw 4''le

#icolaas often spoke abot the great and important events which still have to

take place before the 7oer nation eventally nited and became free"

The following interpretations were given by the Seer himself, and also come

from personal recollections of his contemporaries; a pamphlet distribted in

*>H-; other old maga'ines and pblications, as well as letters and notes by his

intimate friends, <essrs 7oy <ssmann and (oos %aasbroek, and other friends"

Althogh he cold not always nderstand or interpret everything he 8saw6, henevertheless knew that one day 1in the far ftre3 there wold be drastic

going to happen" Ket very few of his contemporaries believed him, and only

Afrikaners wold go hand&in&hand with this decay"In German !est a white hobbled horse walked across the rbbish dmp" 1All

1white horse3 wold be restricted and pshed aside by the government of the

piebald horse stands directly before me" 1!hites will emigrate from #amibia at

the same time a racially mi2ed government 1piebald horse3 takes over the reins

here in Soth Africa" The Afrikaner also faces bloodshed and violenceBthe

piebald stands directly before him and is saddled3"

bt sddenly trns and then it is fll of sheep droppings" I then heard a clear

voice saying to me+ 8Gird p yor loins and let yor light shine"

5an $ensbrg saw a ?arge 7room sweep away all the filth of moral decay from

the earth" 1**th <arch *>3"

ne day he e2plained to 7oy <ssmann e2actly what that broom was when

<ssmann wanted to know what the enemies were going to flee from when

troble started in the contry" The Seer replied it wold be the Spectre of Terror

which God wold create in their hearts, and added that God was going to

pnish them for the thosands of lives they had taken and literally trned the

contry into a desert"

Then 5an $ensbrg referred him to Isaiah *H+ .The ?ord hath broken the staff

of the wicked and the sceptre of the rlers" %e who smote the people in wrathwith a continal stroke, he that rled the nations in anger, is persected and

strggle ahead as the last prification of the 7oer nation" In his later years, 5an

$ensbrg mst have seen this coming, as he often referred to it with grief, andonly told facets of it to a few of his confidants"

E2&4resident 4"!" 7otha

The corse of crrent events, bt particlarly the chaos and bloodshed whichstarted in *>>-, was predicted in an important vision he had in the early *>-6s"

<rs" Sfra <ostert wrote it down and refers to <r" 4"!" 7otha+

I see many people in a hose, sitting arond a table, and I hear them arging"

Sddenly the man at the head of the table arose, walked ot by the door and left

the hose, and the rear wall collapsed"

The day e2&4resident 4"!" 7otha was present when his father was conversing

with the Seer van $ensbrg, he never realised that he, in person, had already

figred in this vision of the Seer for years previosly" At that time the yothfl

4ieter 7otha realised even less that his ftre father&in&law, a well&known

chrch minister, Dr" Servaas $ossow, of Swellendam, had by sheer

coincidence visited the Seer at $ietkil and personally received a nmber ofastonishing visions abot the ftre of the Afrikaner"

<r" 7otha writes abot his short meeting with 5an $ensbrg+ .!hen I was a

visited the family dring a %oly commnion weekend and it was there that I

stood looking at the Seer while my father and the other family member spoke to

7otha made certain concessions, he refsed to veer away from his paved

demanded that <andela denonce violence before he cold be set free" This

was widely critici'ed by liberals here and abroad and threats of increased

boycotts, and even direct involvement, were made"

The Distressing 4osition of the Farmers

The following vision, taken from Die Burger3 of *>H-, has a direct bearing on

the above&mentioned speech of F"!" de 9lerk, as well as the present sitation in

Soth Africa+

.Shortly before 4arliament convened in *>, <r" 4"C" de 5illiers held a report&

This vision refers to a time in ftre when it wold be so dark for the nation

that the 4rophet 8cold not see his hand before his eyes6" The circmstances of

the farmers are also critical 1in fact, never so critical as now/3 A great mltitde

interpretation is correct, it will be of short dration"

Codesa 1*>>&>3

It has already been mentioned that 5an $ensbrg interpreted many of his

visions himself" In the corse of years he also entrsted possible interpretations

to his family and a few intimate friends" This valable information has been pt

at my disposal by his grandchildren and descendants of friends"

The vision: >th Agst *>*=+ A book opensBthe first page is black, two

people sit on the second page and the third page grows large and long with

concerns two grops of people 1blacks and other3 who are negotiating"

%owever, these negotiations will be lengthy and drawn ot 1"""the third page

interesting that mention is made of a sabreBit is probably the most well&known$ssian weapon from the time when Commnism came into being" For this

reason one can accept that the looming confrontation wold be Commnist&

inspired" The manner and e2tent of this confrontation is not mentioned in this

vision, bt the Seer saw this in another vision @st over a month before his

demise+ =th (anary *>+ I see a fat black horse and after that a dirty&yellow

horse" The black horse spells troble with the blacks and the yellow horse spells

troble with the Indians"

This means that dring these dark times we will have a lot of troble from the

Indians"

The Death of 4rof" (ohan %eyns #icolaas van $ensbrg had only three visions in which he saw a very important

pblic figre falling over bac,wards" %e himself interpreted this symbol and

stated that someone wold die an nnatral and violent death"

In the first of these visions he saw General ?ois 7otha standing on a ladder

and falling over backwards" The Seer immediately e2plained that the general

wold commit sicide" This was flfilled when he slashed his wrists"

The second vision concerned an important chrch leader in 4retoria who wold

fall backwards from a sitting position and dyingB*Hth Febrary *>*" 5an

$ensbrg saw a male person wearing a white dress shirt, sitting in 4retoria, he

is an important chrch leader and:or minister and dies violently" $$$ falling overbac,wards"

The e2&moderator of the #G Chrch, 4rofessor (ohan %eyns, was assassinated

on the evening of )th #ovember, *>>H at his hose in 4retoria"

The Goose Is Freed

The Seer6s third and last vision of someone dying an nnatral death came

e2actly si2 months and three days before his own death"

Early on the morning of =th September *>), the Seer went to the hillock

behind his hose" !hen he retrned later on, he was so pset and despondent

that he did not want to talk abot what he had 8seen6" nly later that afternoon

when his daghter, Anna, had the opportnity of writing it down in her e2ercise

book, her father reested that she head it with the words+ Baie belangri, 15eryImportantB#"7"3"

9 see the statue of a blac, man3 he collapses over bac,wards3 his mouth opens

wide and a goose emerges from it and flies *ast$ +hen another great white bird



with very large wings3 tinged with grey and with a human face appears$$$ +hen

a train full of blac,s comes from the west$$$

This vision refers to a black man released from prison 1#elson <andela3" The

nbanning of Commnism and the far&reaching conseences it holds in store

for the 7oer nation and its ftre"

The state collapses over backwards, his moth opens and a goose emerges

from itBhe is met by the athorities and set free" The goose flies EastB1it

closes ties with the Commnists3" Then another great white bird with very largewings retrns 1when it retrns, it will be very powerflBwhich did happen;

today <andela is the head of state in Soth Africa and the most powerfl rler

Soth of the Sahara3" The color of the bird is white, bt tinged with grey 1the

8peace6 he offers is not genine, or to be trsted3" The train from the west refers

to black e2iles who, at this time 1the Era of the Goose3 retrn to Soth Africa"

%owever, e2cept for the 8goose6 being set free from prison, his connection with

the Commnist 4arty and his e2panded rle, the 7oer prophet also saw the

state collapsing over backwards" And as in the case of the two previos

visions, it means the person will die a violent or nnatral death"

In April *>*), some months after the $ebellion, while langishing in prison, theSeer had a vision of a fneral, bloody violence and great triblations still to

come over his people at the end of the centry" According to his prison&mates,

this vision also greatly pset him" %owever, it was only later that he connected

it with the one of =th September 1<andela3+

The vision: Hth April *>*)B 9 see a coffin being let down into a grave3 fires

coming out3 but one great fire igniting in front$ 7a,ed people appear$ 9&m

sitting by a table and dividing a trt$ 9t is dar,3 but silver letters appear on a

shining 1metal3 sheet" 1Then he told them to read 4salm *+3+ +he words of the

Ford are pure wordsG as silver tried in a furnace of earth3 purified seven times$

#ot only will nprecedented violence erpt throghot the contry dring the

brial of this very important person, bt also fll scale civil war 1"""bt one greatfire igniting in front3" At that time the 7oer nation will be naked, stripped of

everything and feel very oppressed"

Therefore this vision cannot be associated with the death of Chris %ani on *-th

April *>>, as the government was still in white hands, and things were still

going well with them/ Civil war did not follow his death either""

The tart which 5an $ensbrg divided, means the little that the nation still has

left, wold be divided even frther ntil he is left with virtally nothing" nly

after that will the darkness which 5an $ensbrg spoke abot, descend over the

7oer nationBa darkness in which one cannot even see one6s hand before one6s

eyes"The silver letters on the shining sheet means 1according to 4salm *3 that the

time has come for the nation to enter the frnace"

Saddam %ssein

It is remarkable that the Seer also had several visions which predicted the

otbreak and progress of the *>>* <iddle East war in great detail"

=th (ne+ .In Erope there are three plastered vats 1contries which have

conclded agreements3 filled with dry grass3 and a +ur, ignites them$$$1Trkey

will become involved in a war3"

*)th (ne+ .A large log is brning" In front is a large pile of logs on the grond,

1rd (ne3 and flames emerge from it bt die down again" 1The war will be of

short, bt intense drationBas was the war in the <iddle East when %sseinattacked 9wait in *>>*3"

In one of his ndated visions, the same Trk and same war are seen again, bt

from another angle and more detailed+ A Trk setting three haystacks alight"



The world catches alight and a vision of horses with blood rnning down their

bits appears"

From <r" 7oy <ssmann6s interpretation we can dedce the following+ The

Trk is Saddam %ssein" The three haystacks are 9wait, Sadi Arabia and the

Israelis who were all involved in the *>>* <iddle&East conflict" Althogh the

war may seem to be over, the same Trk 1%ssein3 will fan the flames again

when he intervenes in the civil war in $ssia 17osnia3 to help his people

1<slims3" The war will be at its worst 1e2termination of <oslems by Serbianrebels3, which will develop into a fll& scale world war and be so horrible that

blood will rn down the bits of the horses"

Trkey was in the pictre again on Hth April *>*>" Three sickles appear one

after the other and @oin so that they become one" !agons travel from #orth to

East; they are +ur,ish wagons, bt they are new and covered with canvas"

The collapse of $ssia will be of short dration, for the 8massive civil war6 5an

$ensbrg saw there will case the Soviet Jnion to retrn to its old ways of

8oppression, revoltion and dictatorship6, 1The three sickles becoming one3"

Dring that time a Trk 1Saddam %ssein3 will become involved in this civil

war" %owever, this time there will be two differences+ 1*3 The +ur, is well& prepared for war 1the wagons are new3; and+ 13 %e is planning in secret and

will strike on a certain day and placeB1against the Serbs3 when nobody

e2pects it and possibly sing nclear arms"

The Soap Caldron !ith Fire

(+he older generation of Boers made their own e<cellent soap in huge

cauldrons$ )lthough a dying art3 it is still demonstrated in the :live& museums

throughout the country'$

<r" (oos %aasbroek wrote+ .6om6 9lasie predicted a long drawn&ot and

bloody revoltion in the Sothwest 1the Angolan strggle in which or soldiers

were also involved3+ !hen it clears 1when we have plled ot of the strggle3 I

see a soap caldron with fire nderneath in the east of Erope and $ssia" Inother words, the Angolan war will scarcely have ended when a dreadfl civil

war will break ot in the Soviet $epblics"0

This did occr after the once indivisible East 7loc crmbled into *) separate

states in the early nineties" The Croatians and Slovenians who were forced into

a nified state with the Serbs in *>> 1Kgoslavia3, broke away, and in *>>

7osnia&%er'egovina followed their e2ample" At the end of December *>,

C'echoslovakia was finally torn apart becase of mtal arrelling, ethnical

differences and H years of forced 8nity6"

The 7alkanising of Central and Eastern Erope is proof that this vision had

come tre and that a yearning for 8ethnical prity6 and 8self&determination6 isnot limited to white Soth Africans" In erstwhile Kgoslavia, the Serbs

themselves were involved in a bloody ethnical strggle" The appeasement

policies of the Eropean Commnity attempting to restore peace between the

warring factions came to nothing, for at the end of *>> the Serbs were in

control and they 8ethnically cleansed6 the whole area of non&Serbs 1<slims3"

In the process they also managed to captre abot a third of Croatia and two&

thirds of 7osnia& %er'egovina and inagrate them into their territory and drive

ot abot one million <slims and Croats from the area nder Serbian control"

Dring *>> the old Soviet Jnion also e2perienced some half do'en or more

wars, and today matters look even worse"

%owever, before the 7oer nation faces its last battle, 5an $ensbrg saw a bcket filled with blood fall over in the north of Sothern Africa; he saw the

nation being torn frther apart, power being wrested from its hands and how his



own #ational 4arty, which had stood strong and formidable, disappear from the

scene in shame"

An ld !agon !heel

The Seer also spoke abot an old wagon wheel which comes rolling from East

?ondon and 4ort Eli'abeth in the eastern province 1enemies of the AfrikanerB

English and pro&English Afrikaners, as well as @ingoes and foreigners3+ At first

it wobbles a lot, bt then gets direction and loses a spoke 1which binds

government and nation together3 and then loses a rim 1old English enemies3 andgradally it becomes a new wheel"

It rolls as far as 5ereeniging and a petrol factory 1Sasol& brg3 where it lies

down"

Then he had another vision which spplements this one"

I see a snake 1Commnist threat3 sailing towards s, bt I cannot see its head" It

sails in the long grass 1Dishonest3" The snake lingers a while in <afikeng 1there

will be troble and chaos, bt only for a short period3 then it also goes to

5ereeniging where it crls itself p withot me having seen its head" 1The snake

hides in the bosom of the nation, bt they do not know this or see it at first3"

(st before the snake left Mimbabwe, 5an $ensbrg saw a bcket of bloodfalling over in that contry, meaning it will be taken over by a black

government"

nce again 8om6 #icolaas6 prophecy came tre+ After a lengthy and bloody

strggle 1bcket of blood3 Ian Smith was betrayed by his friends in the west and

forced into handing over power to $obert <gabe and the Commnists" The

snake lingering a while in <afikeng, points to the events taking place in

7ophtaswana in <arch *>>H when three A!7 comrades were e2ected in

cold blood while leaving the territory after a ftile effort to resce 4resident

<angope6s rle"

To this day that incident leaves many nanswered estions" And to this day the

black who mrdered them, is still working as a constable in the 7op&policewhere he en@oys 8hero6& stats"

Almost every time 5an $ensbrg saw snakes in his visions, the soil was trned

over and went hand&in&hand with betrayal, fol play and bloodshed"

The Snake At 5ereeniging

The last part of the 8snake&vision6 aboveBthen it goes to 5ereeniging where it

crls itself p withot me having seen its headBcan only be interpreted when it

is clear, precisely when it lifts its head" In this light, the Seer once told 7oy

<ssmann that 8the snake represents the .whole force against the Afrikaner0;

then the ne2t interpretation I received from a person in 4otchefstroom, does not

seem so far off the mark+.In <atthew + & the <essiah describes the 4harisees and %e says they

have as their father the snake mentioned in Genesis " %e calls them 8whitened

seplchres6"

(st as the <essiah did, Seer van $ensbrg also pointed ot the trail of the

8snake6 throghot or history" Its trail comes from $hodesia 1Mimbabwe3 and

after overtrning the soil in <afikeng, it came to 5ereeniging and crled p"

It cannot be @st sheer coincidence that De 9lerk was <4 for 5ereeniging, @st

as it cold not have been coincidence when he delivered his maiden speech

there"

!as it this day that 8om6 9lasie referred to when he said+ 8The snake will lift

its head for the first time in 5ereeniging and then we will know who it is"

Therefore it was frightening to see how enthsiastically the adience whistled

and cheered at every word of capitlation and betrayal" That day the road was



paved for the @dgment which God will bring against this hard&headed and

recalcitrant nation"

%is followers cold scarcely wait for the election of April *>>H to sign away

not only their honor, their self&respect, the ftre of their children, bt also the

one and only tre GD whom they had worshipped since they first arrived in

the contry, to the Commnists" And as with everything else where Satan

interferes, there was no thoght for righteosness and @stice" The whole

election was one great lie, a fradlent affair and so corrpt that even the presiding @dge eventally admitted that there was massive corrption"

%owever, he defended the reslts and the rest of the world praised it as a

miracle of God/

.<iracle of whose god0 one is inclined to ask, for the T$JE GD had

# hand in this scandalos, fradlent bsiness/ It was the snake and his

accomplices who were in control and stripped the 7oer nationBstripped them

naked as were Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden after their meeting with

%im"

!hy 5ereeniging

!hen making a closer stdy of the meaning of 5ereeni& ging, one comes torealise it is no mere coincidence that the final scenes of the Seer6s visions will

be conclded there" It is as thogh this has been decreed by a %igher %and" The

.Treaty of 5ereeniging0 was the most demeaning moment in the e2istence of

the 7oer nation" They were broken and coerced by means of betrayal among

their own ranks and the most reprehensible methods by the 7ritish, to srrender"

<ore than

--- women, children and old people were senselessly mrdered in the

concentration camps and farms were brned at the behest of ?ord $oberts6

8scorched&earth6 policy" The 7oer was on his knees and he had no choice bt to

srrender to save the lives of his women and children"

And >- years later the descendants of these same 7oers @oin hands with theenemies of their God; they give their traitor a standing ovation and set the table

to be slaghtered once again"

Today the greatest concentration of black townships are sitated in the vicinity

of 5ereeniging" It forms part of the great !itwatersrand and the other black

townships 1Ga& teng area3Band is considered to be the most dangeros

residential area on earth+ .becase here,0 the terrified black inhabitants say+

.yo do not die a natral death, bt throgh the barrel of an A9 H"0 The place

has become a battlefield"

And when the final battle of 5ereeniging is over, the symbolic meaning of its

name 1to nite3 will eventally end the arrelling and fighting, 8close thechasm6 and stand over a prified nation"

C%A4TE$ *

The Election, the $eslt and Thereafter

Division in 7oer ranks cased matters to go wrong even before the *>>H

election becase the different grops cold not come to an agreement regarding

their mods operandi" riginally neither the Conservative 4arty, nor General

5il@oen6s Freedom Front, nor the %#4 or A!7 intended taking part in the

elections and there was mch talk and threats of war and bloodshed if the

elections shold take place" The leader of the Freedom Front, General 5il@oen,

repeatedly warned that the election shold be postponed, demanding a 8cooling

off6 period" Dring a T5 programme he even said he has the spport ofappro2imately *- --- trained men, and if it came to the worst, he wold act"

And the 7oer nation believed him"""



The A#C and #4 ignored his warnings and contined with their plans to hold

the election" Did they possibly know that he 15il@oen3 wold do nothing

%owever, the 7oers were ready for action and an2iosly sat waiting for him"

Threats against the government and the A#C were also made by the

Conservative 4arty" They wold 8hit6 the 4haraoh with 8ten plages6 and with

concerted effort managed to progress to plages two or three"

Kes, it really seemed if the 7oer was still able to stand p for himself"

%owever, when the moment of trth arrived, General 5il@oen forgot abot his

demands, registered for the election and finally ripped the already splintered

rightwing grops to pieces"

Stnned, disillsioned and leaderless the handfl of conservatives sddenly did

not know in which direction to trn" !ithot direction and dismayed in spirit,

all they cold do was sit and wait for the election; even those that voted for the

General ot of despair, knew it was ftile"

This time the 7oer nation was finally otfo2ed and slaghtered with cold&

blooded calclation by the enemy"

For decades the Seer tried to warn his beloved people, he pleaded with them in

vain not to lose their way, becase if this shold happen+ ."""the betrayal and brotherly sabbles wold be terrible amongst the people and everything wold

go wrong in the contry"""0

E2actly > years and one month to the day before the th April elections were

held, the Seer prophesied that this election wold only bring abot bad lck and

The Seer and the Doves of 4eace

n *st September *>*>, Seer van $ensbrg had a vision of an event which

violence which wold occr in the northern parts of or contry 1the 4!5 area,

wold be no end" In this astonishing vision the Seer not only predicted the



peace initiatives of September *>> between the Government and the A#C, bt

also described the two peace symbols, the white and ble doves" The end of the

ble dove 1false peace3 is so horrifying that it gives one cold shivers; an end

which neither F"!" de 9lerk or #elson <andela had in mind when they kicked

off the so&called 8peace month6 by shaking hands amid cheering"

After seeing a vision on *)th (anary *>*, the Seer said to 7oy <ssmann a

day wold come when the Indians wold occpy a position of power in the

contry" The Christian vales of the Afrikaner wold then be in direct conflict

with the religion of Islam" This vision has already come tre since the first

The Seer admitted that his visions did not always appear in chronological order"

For e2ample, he wold see a vision which wold only materialise in twenty

years6 time, bt on the following day he sees an incident which wold happen

within a week" %owever, it has also happened that he first 8sees6 the end of an

The $eal Strggle Still ?ies Ahead

I received a long letter dealing with visions related to the end of this centry

from <r" (oos %aasbroek of 4ot& chefstroom" Among other things he writes+ .I

am not collecting this information abot the Seer &I virtally grew p with it,

becase 8om6 7oy 1a bosom friend of the Seer3 was married to my father6s

elder sister" <y ncle also told me that when visiting 8om6 9lasie, he wold

sit and talk abot the fortnes and misfortnes of nations of the world and one

wold think that he had travelled far and wide, bt 8om6 9lasie only read his

7ible"

.6om6 9lasie @oined in the Dingaan6s Day festivities on or farm 7otchwick in

*>H" I do not en@oy writing abot ftre events, becase as my ncle told me,the real strggle still lies ahead" <y ncle passed away in <arch *>, and the

way things are going today, I wold love to say to him+ 8?ook, Jncle,

something that 8om6 9lasie predicted is happening/60

n *-th <arch *>* 7oy <ssmann wrote to a friend in the then Sothern

$hodesia" .I recall that yo had previosly written to me abot Seer van

$ensbrg" Ko ask whether these events have already happened, or were still to

happen" The Seer told me he did not give dates, for the 7ible teaches s that the

times and occasions are only known to the ?ord" #ot even the Angels in heaven

know the times" 7t we see certain signs which indicate when events mst

occr" It is a pleasre for me to write to yo, 8flesh of my flesh, blood of my

blood6".Ko once asked me whether the article I wrote in the Vol,sblad was still

correct" I received many air mail letters, among others from a lady who said

that her mother had moved back to the Transvaal" I wrote to her and other



people, saying+ Do not leave yor property or sell it at giveaway prices""" for as

the ?ord resced s at 7lood $iver, so it will be again"

.The signs referred to are already becoming reality and can be seen as the

advent to the dark times or furnace 5an $ensbrg spoke abot before his death"

This incldes the apparent collapse of Commnism; the dramatic reform in

Soth Africa; or greatest droght in memory; a new government taking over

and the power of the #4 being limited to the Cape only before finally

disappearing from the political scene; strikes which will cripple the economyand also the spread of a world&wide disease 1AIDS3 which will wipe ot

millions of people and for which no cre will be fond"

.%e also said he saw a thick wall behind which a fire raged" This was the 7oard

of Censors" It is dark becase all the candles of information have been snffed,

meaning that we are deliberately being deceived by the mediaBnobody knows

any longer what is going on in the contry and nobody dreams or sees visions

any more"

.5an $ensbrg said all these things wold go hand& in&hand with a resrrection

of racial prisings throghot the world" It will start in Erope, he warned, and

then spread throghot the rest of the world (+here is a white cloth in the west(*urope' 1a symbol of racial prity3" +he cloth opened up 1people will live more

openly and psh racial prity into the backgrond3 and inside are white beans

1beans indicate people with the same genetic characteristicsBin this case, the

whites3 and they spread across the earth 1against all e2pectations, white racism

will increase worldwide3"

At first the !esterner in Erope withheld himself from making any distinction

between his white heritage and that of other nations" %owever, 5an $ensbrg

said that when they become overrn by 8aliens6, their aspirations for the

8preservation of the whites6 cannot be stopped any longer"

?iberal intellectals regard racism as being an abnormal, nnatral conditionB

a 8disease6 which they call 82enophobia6, 1a loathing of aliens, or foreigners3"The *>th centry German philosopher, Fichte, was a rabid racist, and so was his

contemporary, %egel" Dring the -th centry it first was Adolf %itler, and now

the present generation of Germans, or #eo&#a'isBalso known as skinhead&

gangs who are terrori'ing all non&German immigrants"

In Germany alone dring *>> there were -=H attacks against, among others,

black Soth Africans, Afghans, $omanians and Trks"

Asylm seekers

in the late *>-6s and with the collapse of the 7erlin !all on >th #ovember

England and France face the same problems and the athorities cannot handle it

any longer" The German Government cannot keep p with the nmber of

applications and in *>>H they already had a backlog of over *&million"

.The spate of racial attacks were sparked off after the crmbling of the 7erlin

!all of Shame when the so&called unification of Germany did not bring abot

the promised prosperity" The disillsioned yonger generation of Germans had

to stand by looking on from the sidelines as hndreds of thosands of 8aliens6

were granted asylm and financial aid, while they cold get neither work nor

refge" 1The sitation is identical in Soth Africa, and nothing has come of the

promised .peace, prosperity and harmony0, and things are looking @st as grimas the Seer had predicted3"



.Kong Germans are frstrated and rebellios for being openly betrayed and

sold ot to alien parasites by their leaders, and for these reasons these 8aliens6

are being attacked daily by German yoth gangs"

.%owever, it is not so mch these attacks which are casing problems to the

chrch, German scholars and sociologistsBit is that 8echo of approval fond

among the silent masses"6 It is also disconcerting to the liberal thinkers that sch

a spate of nstoppable racial hatred is bilding p all over Erope" And the

estion no one dares askBas the answer may be too shockingBdoes Eropefind itself on the eve of a new glorification of race0

Dring the same year 1*>>3 America e2perienced its worst racial violence in

history when whites were openly attacked in the streets of San Francisco by

bloodthirsty #egroes in a week&long orgy of violence, and their bsinesses, cars

before the storm breaks, which will be violent, bt of short dration" A bcked

this blood flag will be hoisted over a free nation"L

This is trly an ominos prophesy" For those who do not share the 7oer6sstrggle for freedom, these words spell ot serios problems" For the 7oer it

means the navoidable bloodbath to gain that freedom which has always elded

him" 7t 5an $ensbrg said the nation mst first bend its knee before God and

be willing to walk every inch of that road" %e also warned them that the road

was going to be very togh, becase+ .7efore we get or own 17oer3 repblic, a

will be of no use to them3 for the Boers will regain power with help from 8od

(the sausage draped over the chairs in Parliament'$ )t the same time the mines

and minerals will become %tate property and all the old Republican farms fall

bac, to3 and are distributed among my people$

Anne2ations

As far back as the 7oer nation can remember, everything he worked for,

everything he discovered and everything he bilt p, was confiscated by others"

The after&effects are still rnning strongly throgh or modern history" It is awell&known fact that white Soth Africans are the poorest !esterners, despite

the fact that we have a wide variety of natral resorces and mineral riches"

!hen going back to that first anne2ation, and going throgh history step by

step, one begins to realise @st how mch have been taken from them" The

goldfields are not controlled by them today, bt by the (ewish financial giant,

Anglo&American, the English and Americans"

7t according to the Seer6s interpretation of the vision, it does seem if there

will be an end to foreign interference of many years and reckless srping of

land and mineral rights by foreign robber gangs" %e also says the Afrikaner

who rises p from the dst this time, will not crawl before the enemy, hat inhand again, as he did >- years ago at 5ereeniging"

#ationali'ation will take place, bt not by the A#C or Commnists as most

Soth Africans fear" They will initiate it, bt 1if 8om6 9lasie is correct3 there

will be a sdden change and the 7oers will be sitting on top/ Diamond, gold,

copper, silver and tin minesBeverything will be nationali'ed, the foreign

parasites will be driven ot of the contry, or they will leave of their own

accord" They will be dispossessed and all their fi2ed properties sch as farms,

hoses and land will fall back to the 7oer nationBas it shold have been right

from the beginning"

n one occasion 8om6 9lasie openly named these 8robber gangs6 who had

taken everything for themselves in Soth Africa+ the British money"barons, or8pigs6 as he called them" In a letter to <r" %"(" Dreyer of Senekal he wrote+ +he

disappearance of the spec,led beast in *urope (the seeming crumbling of

Communism' followed by the earth going blac, here is a sign that the time is

comingAthe time for great reform and revolution$

Even in these modern times, Soth Africa is fairly isolated and far from the

Eropean continent" Ths it remains an e2pensive e2ercise to come and wage

war here, and these circmstances cold also be the main reason why Soth

Africa will not immediately be involved in any world conflict, becase dring

that time the whites in Soth Africa will have their own problems; being

trampled on and dominated by blacks and Indians in every walk of life, large&

scale violence, nemployment and poverty" Dr& ing wars against black tribes

in the distant past, the whites had a right to defend themselves, bt today they

are compelled by the chrch and Commnist athorities to passively sit looking

on while being stripped of everything that is precios and sacred to themBown

flag, langage, cltre, edcation and religion"

$ensbrg asked .where is its grave0, becase he 8saw6 how it was gaining new

momentm in Sothern Africa"4eter %ammond of the Frontline Fellowship confirmed this in his *>> report

on events in Eastern Erope" According to him, Commnism is all bt dead,

for, he said, the Commnists operating in <acedonia, 7lgaria, $mania,

%ngary, C'echoslovakia, 4oland, ?ithania, etc", are the same ones that have

been persecting Christians for decades; the same comrades who have, for

decades, been responsible for mass mrders and persection" Even the 9G7 is

still in control of affairs" 4roof of this is the fact that the $ssian Federation

The Seer van $ensbrg was not the only one who foresaw the ncontrolled

infl2 of blacks into the !estern !orld" A noted French athor, (ean $aspail,

accrately predicted and described this corse of events in his sensa& tional

novel, Fe Camp des %aints 1+he Camp of the %aints3, pblish in *> by $obert

?affont&Fi2ot, S"A""

The following e2tract is from the Publisher&s 7ote in the lastest American

edition pblished in *>>) by The Social Contract 4ress+

.The novel alternately has been praised as a clear minded view of the ftre or,

contrarily, vilified as 8racist6" Individ& als have even been attacked for merely

being familiar with it"""!e are indebted to (ean $aspail for his insights intohman conditions, and for being - years ahead of his time"""0



In an )fterword to this edition (ean $aspail confessed+ .I wrote The Camp of

the %aints ten years ago 1after3 one morning in *>, at home by the shore of

the <editerranean, I had a vision+

.They were there/ A million poor wretches, armed only with their weakness and

their nmbers, overwhelmed by misery, encmbered with starving brown and

black children, ready to disembark on or soil"""I literarily saw them saw the

ma@or problem they presented, a problem absoltely insolble by or present

moral standards" To let them in wold destroy s" To re@ect them wold destroythem" Dring the ten months I spent writing this book, the vision never left

me"""I came ot of it totally e2hasted, almost nrecogni'able even to myself" I

have written other novels since, bt this one, I mst say seemed to have been

dictated by an otherworldly force, by an inspiration from on high I woldn6t

dare name"

.nly after I had finished the last chapter and reached the point of no retrn in

the final confrontation between us and them, did I woke from the horror and

became myself again"""0

Since *> this mch talked&abot novel had already sold million copies

worldwide" An Afrikaans translation by #aomi <organ was pblished in *>>-"The cover te2t of the Afrikaans edition makes chilling reading+

.7y the year --- there will be --- million on earth, ot of which only >--

million will be white" This fact compelled the athor, (ean $aspail to sketch a

frightening vision of the ftre"

.It is a ftristic story, bt $aspail6s description of thosands of blacks

streaming into Erope 1particlarly France3 to find refge there, almost reads

like the front pages of today6s newspapers"0

1 It takes place in the early ftre 1the *>>-6s3" Abot a million Third&

world men, women and children board dilapidated boats on a 8?ast Chance

Armada6 to the white man6s paradiseBa peace&loving convoy who will knock

on the doors of abndance and prosperity3".Their only weapons are their nmbers and the sympathy they invokeBthe

ideal weapon" It hits the fragile !estern conscience; mst one give in to deep

feelings of compassion and drown oneself in the process, or mst one se force

against mere weakness The government is in a andary, the moral and

religios athorities are caght in their own trap, and lastly, the nation in the

grip of a storm in which or last shaky and confsed !estern vales clash and

shatter to pieces in an almost comical manner"0

n the @acket of the English pblication the estion is asked+ .Is it an allegory

Bor a prophecy Is $aspail6s apocalyptic vision really the way in which the

world will end for the white man""" This gripping novel will anger somereaders, bt nobody will be able to forget it or remain ntoched"0

Concerning conditions in or own contry, the following was written+

.This is fiction which has already become a nightmarish reality in Soth Africa

dring the *>>-6s, with its - million 1now H) million3 blacks and ) million

1now million3 whites" Third&world hordes are streaming into the cities and

towns in their pitifl contless nmbers" Already peace is the catchphrase for

every crime imaginable" r government, even or moral and religios

athorities are capitlating"0

This 8racist novel6 for which $aspail was vilified, doomed and even ridicled at

the time, is now becoming a terrifying reality"

The Dirty&Kellow %orseBriental ForcesThe dirty&yellow horse points to the Indians in or contry, as well as their

contry of origin" In the H-&year history of Soth Africa, Indians have never



played any significant role" They have only now started coming to the

foregrond and making demands dring the last decade"

They have particlarly established themselves in the sports arena where they

blow the whistle and penalise players left, right and centre" The Indian has also

realised that the 7oers are very tolerant and will make sacrifices as long as

nobody interferes with their 8sports&god"6 %owever, the omission of the 7oers

from the sports and all other areas has only @st begn" They have already been

warned+ no lily"white team will ever again compete internationally, for we arenow living in the Third !orld and words sch as norms, merit or alifications

do not e2ist in the vocablaries of the third&worlders"

In one of the Seer6s visions which was reported in the media, we get a clear

prophesy of the far&reaching inflence the Indians wold have in Soth African

society"

According to somebody who was interviewed by a reporter, his family held a

dinner 4arty in !itbank to celebrate his great&grandfather6s >>th birthday in

*>" Dring the meal somebody made a remark abot 7ronkhorst& sprit 1a

small town between 4retoria and !itbank3" %is great&grandfather heard the

remark and wanted to know from one of the grand&children whether the heathentemple had been bilt at 7ronkhorstsprit"

This stnned everyone at the table and some even lagh& ed, as it was still

dring the premiership of Dr" 5erwoerd before he was assassinated, and a very

prosperos period for the conservative Afrikaner"

$eplying to the estion where he got that notion, the old man said+ .Seer van

$ensbrg prophesied years ago that sch a temple wold be bild at

7ronkhorstsprit before the divided 7oer nation wold nite again"""0

Thirty years later Dr" %ennie Senekal, a retired chrch minister and

erstwhile <ayor of 7ronkhorstsprit, prod& ly annonced that one of the

largest 7ddhist temples was being bilt in this same town and wold become

one of the greatest torist attractions in the contry"It is also the first 7ddhist temple on the African continent and bilt at a cost of

$-- million in the sbrb of Cltra 4ark, 7ronkhorstsprit" The gest hose,

which wold serve as temporary temple, was completed in *>>) at a cost of

$H million while the other strctre was being bilt" <ost of the bilding

materials and tiles were imported from Taiwan; so also the massive steel bell

weighing tons which wold be rng by - campanologists 1bell&ringers3" The

inside is adorned by a hge golden state of 7ddha with hndreds of smaller

states lining the walls"

!hile the main temple was nder constrction, nmeros marble states and

pillars stood in the garden of the gest&hose and which wold be sed todecorate the main temple"

A well&known Afrikaans architectral firm was assigned to draw the bilding

plans"

There is no chrch comple2 in Soth Africa which is comparable to this idol

temple"

The <slim inflence has been increasing in the contry" They regard

Christians as their biggest enemies, and shold a <slim befriend a Christian,

the latter is an enemy of his god, Allah" So ties of friendship are taboo" Ket

ironically the world6s largest Islamic propaganda centre is sitated here in

Drban, Soth Africa/

The spate of violence, rebellion and revoltion which has been plaging Africa

for the last -O years, has already spread here" It forms part of the Great$evoltion which has been instigated by the Commnists 1the red flag3"

n nd Febrary *>>- we entered the final stage of capitlation to

Commnism, which has been very careflly orchestrated over a period of many

years to prepare s for the final srrender"

Spirital ?eader From the Eastern Cape

Shold the old great&grandfather have been correct on his >>th birthday, this

recalcitrant 7oer nation will not come to its senses before another BH years6

have passed to renite" And by that time the darkness will already have

descended over s"

%owever, 5an $ensbrg said that this time they will not rely on the fleshy armof their leaders again" #onetheless a spirital leader who will nite and arm the

nation, will rise in the Eastern 4rovince" Althogh 5an $ensbrg did not say

how this man wold arm them, I believe it will be spirital as well as physical"

The man in the brown sit also steps forward at this stage" n *)th (ne *>-,

5an $ensbrg had a vision of England being conered by Germany in a ftre

battle; a well&bilt 7oer in a brown sit will play an important part in this

victory"

It is the same 7oer who will come here to address and pacify the people at

?ichtenbrg"

This shows another clear parallel between the oppression which the 7oer nation

finds itself in and the e2periences of the Israelites when they were sb@ected to

op& pression by God becase of their disobedience"

Dring sch times, strong leaders and God&fearing people rose from the nation

to lead them to freedomBand withot e2ception that freedom was gained

throgh Divine intervention"

Think of <oses, Samson, Gideon, David, Andries 4re& toris and Charl Cilliers"

#o other modern nation in the world has the testimony of a 7lood $iver or

5egkop 1to name bt two3 in their history" And as was the case with Israel, it

was the spirital leader, Charl Cilliers, rather than the warrior, Andries

4retoris, who armed the ill and trapped 5oortrekkers in preparation for the

looming battle against the advancing Mls"C%A4TE$

$eformBthe Time of Darkness

5an $ensbrg prophesied the total reform which wold take place in the

contry before the 7oer nation wold get its own repblic" <r" 7oy <ssmann

wrote that 8om6 9lasie told him+ .7efore we get or own $epblic, there mst

be total reform; reform as in the days of #ehemiah 1#ehemiah )3" #ot only in

politics, bt also in the chrches, becase even in my chrch 18#ederdits6

$eform Chrch3 there are many wrongs" Kes, it will be as in the time of

#ehemiah who did not receive a salary from the Governor for * years to assist

his people to rebild (ersalem"0" %e added+ .Dring the time of reform,

virtally nothing in the contry will be right; either in Government, nor in or

chrches" I see the Jnion overtrned by the plogh; what was above is now



below and the masters have now become the servants" +otal reform will also

occr in general society"""0

!e already know the reform process broght abot by F"!" De 9lerk and the

Chrch" 7t what 8reform6 had #ehemiah in mind an why was it necessary

Amos H+ says+ .<y people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; becase tho

hast re@ected knowledge, I will also re@ect thee, that tho shalt be no priest to

me+ seeing tho hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy

children0"

In #ehemiah ) Israel was ordered to separate themselves from their enemies,

retrn to God and confess their sins against #im, bt they refsed and had to

bear the conseences+ .!e have had to borrow money to pay the king6s ta2 on

or fields and vineyards \ we have to sb@ect or sons and daghters to

slavery \ or fields and or vineyards belong to others"""0

And in #eh" * God told Israel in what they have sinned against %im and how

%e e2pected them to reform+ .n that day the 7ook of <oses was read alod in

the hearing of the people and there it was fond written that no Ammonite or

<oabite shold ever be admitted in the assembly of God """" !hen the people

heard this law, they e2clded from Israel all who were of foreign descent \ Inthose days I saw men in (dah treading winepresses on the Sabbath and

bringing in grain and loading it on donkeys \ and selling them in (ersalem on

the Sabbath to the people of (dah" I rebke the nobles of (dah and said to

them, 8!hat is this wicked thing yo are doningBdesecrating the Sabbath

day6 \ <oreover, in those days I saw men of (dah who had married women

from Ashdod, Ammon and <oab \ I rebked them and called crses down on

them" I beat some of the men and plled ot their hair" I made them take an oath

in God6s name and said+ 8Ko are not to give yor daghters in marriage to their

sons, nor are yo to take their daghters in marriage for yor sons of for

yorselves" !as it not becase of marriages like these that Solomon king of

Israel sinned60The Afrikaner does not really know why reform mst take place, or what it

boils down to" %e blindly agrees and hopes for the best" %e allows everything

to be taken from him and everything to be changed" %e prefers doing nothing to

stop it, for it may be 8offensive"6

This total reform also links p with the vision of the pork sasages hanging

over the chairs in 4arliament" Soth Africa is rich in minerals and precios

metals and this is the pri'e everyone is fighting over" %owever, it belongs to the

7oer nation and will remain with them, the Seer assred his people" The 7oer is

solely responsible for everything that is happening to him now" ver the years

he was made to believe that he is inferior, and to blame for the misery of the

blacks" %e believed it as he believed in peace and prosperity if he relinished

his power and everything else"

%owever, things only became worse" The racial estion is still nsolved and

meanwhile violence contines spilling across or borders" 5an $ensbrg had

this to say+ 9 see the %tate carriage travelling through +aungs3 1a black area

where thosands of blacks reside and was well&known to 5an $ensbrg3

leaving deep trac,s" %e repeated that the Government of the day wold

e2perience a lot of troble with the 89affir6"

According to other visions in this connection, it seems that secret agendas

emanating from America, England, the A#C:SAC4 alliance and liberal

Afrikaners to destroy the handfl of 7oers, will come to nothing"The Seer6s Timetable

The present sitation here, as well as in the rest of the world confirms that the

abot a decade ago and which was kept nder control by a state of emergency

by <r" 4"!" 7otha, is still rife, and the militant factions stdiosly ignore the

A#C6s desperate efforts to bring abot peace and reconciliation" The open

enmity of blacks towards each other, towards whites and the moratorim on the

death penalty, is no deterrent" It confirms what the Seer said abot the spear and

the shield held above the black warrior6s head" The shadow falls across the

land, in other words, the violence will affect the whole contry" 7t then the

warrior disappears into the fog" %e will disappear to where he will be no frther

will create a miracle which will finally free the 7oers of his enemies"

5an $ensbrg paints the following pictre+ )ll the trains and motor vehicles inthe nion are at a standstill at that time$ nly the train from Pries,a will be

running3 as our cannons and guns will be coming from FMderitbucht$ 1?]derit'

7ay3"

From here events start gaining momentm and begin to speed p to the end of

the old man6s visions"

The 9rase Docment

The above events are confirmed in the 9rase Docment confiscated by

General Smts in *>H, for fear that shold the Seer6s visions become pblic

knowledge, it wold incite rebellion against the Government"

The above&mentioned nationwide strike will go ahead in *>>> @st prior or after

the second 8democratic6 election, which wold be the time when Afrikanerswold finally trn their backs on the Government" The Seer said things wold

go very badly for the strikers, as he had seen 8the pig hanging from a hook in

(ohannesbrg6" Then revoltion wold break ot and in the confrontation that

follow the Afrikaners wold take back the contry"

The Seer told 8pa6 9rase+ .%owever, before that happens, the English, (ews

and @ingoes will not only se the riches of or contry to oppress s; they will

also incite the Indians, black Commnists and liberal Coloreds to lay charges

against, and mrder s"

.Some white policemen and members of the Defence force will also take part in

this persection, and in retrn many false promises will be made to them" Afather will betray his son, a sister her brother and a friend will betray the one

who trsted him" The renegade chiefs will go to England where they will be

plotting in secret with the English, getting their plans in order"

.Then, when we least e2pect it, they will strikeBwe will be disarmed, broght

before Cort on trmped&p charges and imprisoned immediately" Ko see,

these plans were already in the pipeline long before a black government came

into power" <any of or people will be killed in the intense strggle which will

follow" For that reason we mst never srrender or weapons; we mst settle

or differences and nite if we want to save orselves from going nder"

%e then e2plained how we will get help from Germany+ .!hen these things

start, a man rises p in Germany who will take over the reins" They have been preparing in secret for this takeover for many years" And the arms that Germany

will prodce will be of sch a natre that many contries will be afraid of

attacking them"



.They also become liberated, regain all their states in Erope and become so

powerfl that I see it 1Germany3 seated at the head of the table @st after the

Third !orld !ar ends" England6s place is empty as it isn6t a nation any longer"

And now Germany gets an opportnity to avenge all its men who were hanged

after a war 1the Second !orld !ar3 and deliver the Cop de Grac to England"

Kes, it is Germany with its nbelievable weapons which will destroy the

Englishman for what they had done to it 1Germany3 dring !!, and we also

owe them"""0%owever, he said at this stage or people are very divided; many will resign

from the secrity forcesBmilitary as well as policeBbt many will stay on to

assist the English to sbvert the 7oers0"

The Seer also said many people in the contry will claim to be stanch

#ationalists 1for the 7oer case3, bt their only aim is to strengthen the hands

of the enemy against s"

Frthermore, or enemies will secretly import arms and ammnition from

England and other places and hide these in secret caches arond the contry,

and the day they are ready to attack s, they will incite the Indians, blacks and

coloreds to @oin the prising which they had been planning for so long" It will become a fll&scale revoltion in which or women and children will be

e2posed to the greatest danger"

.7t we mst not forget+ many of the men in the Secrity Forces who are

spporting s, are now being arrested and replaced with @ingoes"

.%owever, when they are ready to attack the rebels 1whites who are resisting3,

things will trn gly and all their well&laid plans will be destroyed" It will be so

horrific for them that they will flee, bt it will not be of any se, for many will

die when weBas well as German forcesBretaliate" They will never be able to

fight against s again"

.All those advanced secret weapons I wrote abot earlier, will be sed and their

destrctive power will be like firebombs that can destroy large cities" Smokeand fire will cover everything like a thick blanket for weeksBperhaps months

Band it will become dark early in the morning, while birds will nest early" A

to2ic gas will also kill silently in the cities withot even cracking a window

pane" This will be released over port cities from German sbmarines and

warships and it will color the sky a shiny yellow&orange he which will be

seen daily on the hori'on"

The war will not last long, bt peace will only prevail once we have 8cleaned

p6 into the north" <any of the neighboring states will then willingly reach ot

their hands to s"""0

Two ?eaders Die !ith Dishonor The Seer had two visions in *> which are concrrent with the 8arming6 of the

7oers and the overthrowing of an e2isting government" Althogh the first date

cannot be accrately pinpointed, the Seer himself described it to <r" ?ood

9irsten, frnishing interesting details of how those <asers will reach the

7oers, as well as what conditions will be like here and in #amibia"

%irst vision: (Jellow peach rain'

.A large dam is fll of water; it is raining, all the slices are open and the dam

empties" A peach tree grows on the dam wall and peaches are lying on the

grond" Crates of <asers, still packed in grease, are being offloaded from the

train" Aloes are prooted and roll eastwards when Germans retrn"0

1According to the Seer6s timetable for this vision, troble is going to break otwhen the 8yellow peach6 rain starts falling" (9n the early part of the century the

old people always referred to the late summer rains as the :yellow peach& rain



Ausually starting mid".ebruary and lasting two wee,s'" The dam rnning

empty means the nation will sffer financially"

Second vision: 9 travel to *urope and cross mountains and arrive at a place

where new ausers are hidden under boards$ %ome distance further is the

corner of a house where two people lie covered under a sheet and they become

covered with earth$ ) bit further there is something similar to a cloc,Nwatch

with stripes3 from which a :Vier,leur& 1the for&color flag of the old Transvaal3

emerges$%e said weapons are being collected and stored for the 7oers in a montainos

region of Erope" 1!hen he refers to a <aser, it refers to the Afrikaner3"

According to the vision above which he described to <r" ?ood 9irsten, 8the

<asers were still packed in grease when they were offloaded from the train"6

Those weapons were therefore sed to overthrow the government which was

referred to, becase+ 8he sees only the corner of a hose" The prooted aloes

frther indicate that the government was violently overthrown, after which

some <"46s and other officials fled in an easterly direction 1Drban3 1Compare

the prophecy in Chapter = referring to the large nmber of liberals who will

leave the contry 8naked63These events will become reality when the 7oers in

#amibia retrn to Soth Africa"

The two corpses lying covered nder a sheet means they did not die a natral

death; 1if they did, they wold have lain in the hose3 they were probably

fsilladed" They also receive no honorable brial, as they are simply covered

B8they are covered with earth6" They were definitely important people,

otherwise he wold not have 8seen6 themBprobably leading figres from the

collapsed Government"

After a short passage of time and significant changes 1stripes on the clock3 the

Afrikaner will rle nder the 85ierkler"6

Foreign Spport For the 7oer #ation

As far back as rd December *>*=, the Seer had a vision of !esterners whowold be fighting a frios battle in the far ftre for the retention of their

white heritage; he described the campaign of rabid hatred against them, bt also

saw that white racism wold increase worldwide"

?ooking at recent events in Erope" America and Soth Africa where race riots

occr reglarly, that vision of the 7oer prophet is already being flfilled" A poll

held in America dring *>>, indicated that appro2imately - million white

Americans classified themselves as being right& wing and racist; the ma@ority of

them also admitted being against Government policy of enforced integration

and that they were secretly fighting it at every opportnity"

C## recently did several interviews with rightwing grops inBamong others BGermany, %olland and Sweden" They e2pressed a lot of sympathy for the

case of the Afrikaner; however, what probably strck few viewers, was the

bitterness among German ranks over the 8handing over of #amibia and

Swakopmnd6 to a black government by the Soth African Government" Their

strong opposition to this move, indicates that another vision of the Seer

1Germany will render military aid to Soth Africa in the ftre3 sddenly does

not seem so far&fetched, after all+ .The Soth African Government had no right

to cede Soth !est Africa to a black government,0 a German viewer said+

.becase with the srrender at the time 1(ly *>*)3 it was agreed that if Soth

Africa had no frther interest in #amibia, Germany wold be given the option

of gaining control over it again, bt we were totally ignored in this matter"0The #ew Germany



The father&in&law of 8Tant6 7essie van $ooyen of %en& neman was a long&

standing friend of the Seer and he often told her of the visions the 7oer prophet

saw+

.%e 1the Seer3 predicted the Second !orld !ar and its otcome" %e said he

saw Germany as a large black snake whose back is broken and paralysed

1losing the war3" Then 5an $ensbrg saw a white canvas covering 1protecting3

it" It lay there for a nmber of years and when it had healed, the canvas is

removed" #ow the snake lifts its head and strikes towards the eastBthe !all ofShame is demolished and Germany is nited again" Then 5an $ensbrg saw the

snake strike at a woman on a throne across water and she disappears"

1According to this vision, he said the <onarch 1Ueen Eli'abeth3 will lose her

throne becase of Germany and it seems likely that there will not be a

sccessor3"

.%owever, as long as the snake lies there, 5an $ensbrg sees or nation

fighting amongst each other as never before" %e also sees a red 1wooden3 beam

pressing down on or nation and when the fighting is at its worst, dolerite rocks

1bombs3 fall on (ohannesbrg" nly then will the nation wake p and begin

niting, and @st when that happens, 5an $ensbrg sees the red beam breaking

and the snake striking at Soth Africa"0

After the 7erlin !all is demolished, the last prification of the 7oer nation

beginsBby means of betrayal, strife and dissension when they will be divided

into two camps" %owever, it will not be for too long, becase the German

nation will assist the 7oer nation 1the striking snake3 and together they will

trimph and live peaceflly"

The Seer6s son, 9allie, confirmed this seence of events dring a newspaper

interview in *> and added that his father not only saw what wold happen

dring !!, bt that Germany wold ignite the fires of that war and

sbseently lose the war" ne of the Seer6s visions also refers to this period+

.I see a ble stone 1Germany3 rotating, then it becomes a cannon wheelwhich falls and shatters on the grond" The grond is dg p and becomes

fertile"0 %e added+ )fter 8ermany loses the war3 it will rise up again3

but not as a formidable military force$ +he fruits of 8ermany will not be death

and destruction3 but economical and industrial prosperity$$$-

%e also said that althogh the world despised Germany, God had not forgotten

it, for he .saw a hand covering Germany nder a white canvas where it was

lyingBthe same white canvas which he saw covering the $ebels at $ooidam in

*>*HL"

The snake was hidden nder the canvas for many years" And after !! had

ended, there was no movement from the snake, as it took a long time for its

back to heal and the canvas cold be removed" God had blessed Germany

dring those years and made it prosper"""

Germany and the !arships

5an $ensbrg first sketched the history abot the role played by the 7oers and

Germans in the captre of German !est+ %e said when Generals De !et and

De la $ey heard that 7otha and Smts intended attacking German !est to

captre it for the English, General De !et called a meeting at 9oppies" %e

decided there+ .if 7otha and Smts pass a law throgh 4arliament that we mst

captre German !est, we wold hoist the 5ierkler and fight for a repblic"0

n the day 7otha introdced the draft bill to invade German !est, 9oos de la

$ey told him not to do it+ .becase if England wins the war, German !est willatomatically fall into England6s lap" %owever, shold England lose, then yo

are sending s into a war against Germany and we will have to coner

Germany"0



%e pt forward another very important reason+ .!e mst not shift bondaries

and shed innocent blood of a nation who have done s no harm, becase dring

the !ar 1*=>>&*>-3, Germany spplied the 7oers with cannons and gns with

which we foght the English ntil we cold fight the English with their own

gns"0 An important reason why General de la $ey did not want to fight against

Germany was becase he believed, according to %osea )+*-+ ."""that remove the

bond; therefore I will por ot my wrath pon them like water"0

#ow, after all these years, this important history is recalled" 4art of the 7oernation will move to 4rieska 1or close vicinity3, the Seer said" Dring the *>*H

$ebellion the train only went as far as 4rieska" A rebel who was there, said+ .It

helped s, who had to go to German !est, to negotiate with the Germans,

becase dring that dry year, General 7otha6s troops also had to strggle along

from there with horse commandos and wagons with food"0

$ailway ?ine To 4rieska

<r" 7oy <ssmann writes+ .!hen 8om6 9lasie said we wold srrender 1Feb

*>*)3, the railway line had been completed as far as Jpington, bt there was no

bridge" After srrendering, General 7otha decided to take German !est"

1pposition to this by the rebels was in vain3" Then the Seer told an old friend+0!e are against General 7otha going into German !est to take it" I say we are

against it, bt if General 7otha does not take German !est, the Germans will

have no reason to reclaim it again one day" General 7otha cannot take German

!est if he does not e2tend the railway line from 4rieska to @oin the German line

to transport his troops and spplies"

8So,L the Seer said+ .we willthen see that the ?ord6s ways are not or way" !e

will come into power, for I see a 7oer&shoe 17oer government3" I see a 7oer

thatched hose 17oer Cabinet3"

.%owever, before that day arrives, 8dark times6 await Soth Africa when drastic

reform will 8proot6 the land""" who was the master is now the servant" Dring

this time or leaders will attempt to establish a new government in a helter&skelter fashion" %owever, it will not be the long& awaited 7oer repblic, as there

is still too mch strife"0

%e said he saw many 7oer&lasts 1on which shoes are molded3+ .#ow I see so

many lasts on which the ftre repblic, will be molded" Almost all the little

organisations and grops want a share in this"0

Dring that time the 7oer nation will be fighting with its back to the wall,

seemingly withot hope"

Sbmarines At ?]derit'bcht

(Commonly ,nown as FMderit Bay$ However3 the correct name is

Lüderitzbucht '$After pblication of the first edition of Voice of an Prophet , I received a

telephone call from a very irate Commodore in Cape Town, lashing ot at me in

no ncertain terms for the 8rbbish6 I had written in the book" %is main gripe

was against the section in which I dealt with the five German warships in

?]derit'bcht, which wold bring arms to be sent to 4rieska for the

beleagered Afrikaners when they wold have their backs to the wall withot

any hope of help"

%is opinion was+ After !! Germany signed an agreement which forbade it to

bild warships" According to the Commodore, the railway line between 4rieska

and ?]der& it' had already been in disse for =- years, and it wold be

impossible to restore it, as it was covered nder metres of desert sand in places"I told him I was naware of any sch agreement" Frthermore, I had no first&

hand knowledge of the present condition of the railway line between 4rieska

and ?]der& it'"



%owever, in the light of the Commodore6s scathing criticism, I added the

following to Seer6s vision abot German warships in the second edition of

Voice of a Prophet + .At this stage the possibility of this happening 1ships in

?]derit', as well as the line being reopened3 seems like a chimera, a vage

figment of the imagination"0

I wold dearly love to contact this particlar Commodore today to determine

whether he still considers the Seer6s visions to be 8rbbish6, for since then,

Germany has not only had warships bilt, bt the railway line between 4rieskaand ?]derit' has been in se for ite some time again/

German Frigate 5isits Cape Town

Die Burger of -th #ovember *>> reported as follows abot a German frigate

which visited Cape Town+

.The flagship of a German #aval Task force, the Schles& wig&%olstein, recently

visited Cape Town" <r" ?eopold Scholt' wrote that the name of the ship has a

very interesting history which is connected with Soth Africa in more than one

way"

.Dring a press conference on board the Schleswig& %olstein, Captain (an

Scharf, Commanding fficer of the German Task Force, 1consisting of twofrigates and two battle spport vessels3, said the ltra&modern ship was so new

that it was taken into service only two months previosly"

.It is the first German naval visit since *>=, when a previos ship, also the

Schleswig&%olstein, was the last German warship to visit Soth Africa"

%owever, it was an nofficial visit to take in fel; the last official visit,

accompanied by the sal pomp and ceremony, was at the beginning of *>),

when the light criser, Emden, nder com& mand of Captain 1later Admiral3

9arl Doenit', anchored in Table 7ay" 7etween *>^*>H, the Emden was

nder command of Captain !ilhelm Canaris, who later, as Admiral, was

appointed as head of the German espionage service" The 7erlin e2ternal office

of the Soth African Embassy in Germany is sitated in his old hose, 5illa%arteneck"

.The original Schleswig&%olstein gained notoriety by firing the first shots of

!orld !ar throgh its = cm gns" It so happened that the ship, accompanied

by a few crisers, destroyers and minesweepers, appeared in the bay of Dan'ig

1now Gdansk3, 4oland, before daybreak on *st September *>>"

.The largest part of the 4olish fleet, consisting of H destroyers, sbmarines

and other smaller craft, was concentrated in the port of Dan'ig" The Schleswig&

%olstein pointed its gns at these ships and gave the signal for the bloodiest and

crellest conflict the world has ever known"

.%owever, as otdated the old Schleswig&%olstein was, its later namesake issper&modern, eipped with all the latest technology of the *>>-6s"

.<ilitary shipbilding has come a long way since the old Schleswig&%olstein"

And it is fitting that a common visit to Cape Town has forged a link between

the old and the new"

The ?]derit' $ailway ?ine

Dring the past year I have received nmeros letters and telephone calls from

people who were either directly involved in the pgrading of the railway line

between 4rieska and ?]derit'bcht, or who have visited the area to gain first&

hand knowledge"

The Commodore of Cape Town was correct when he said the line was bried

metres deep nder sand in places" According to a lady whose son was involvedin the restoration pro@ect+ .only the tops of telegraph poles ne2t to the line were

visible in places, and becase of the 8shifting6 dnes in that area, workers have

to patrol the line reglarly to ensre that it is not covered by sand again"0



I also received a very interesting letter from !indhoek, concerning the

pgrading of ?]derit' harbor+ .<r" Don 5ermelen, the man in charge of

e2panding and deepening the harbor at ?]derit'bcht 1the Germans insist that

we speak of ?]derit'bcht, nder which name the town is registered3, says that

$)- million is being spent on pgradingBso mch soBthat when the work has

been completed, ships lying = m deep at low tide and *- m long, will be able

to anchor there"

.In their latest economic report on #amibia, %ysamer Stals say this is theforth consective year that #amabia6s economy has been sliding downwards"

?]derit'bcht is the only place in #amibia where the opposite is happening"

<r" 5ermelen says the fish have increased to sch an e2tent that they were

compelled to enlarge the harbor"

.%e also said that the -- km railway line is being rebilt throgh the #amib

desert to 9eetmanshoop, adding that all railway lines in #amibia are being

pgraded, inclding the one from 9eetmanshoop to the #amibian:Soth

African border"

.According to <r" 5ermelen, he has no knowledge whatsoever of Seer van

$ensbrg, or books written abot him".!hat lends more importance to the harbor and rebilding of the railway line,

is that Germany is providing the finance for these pro@ects"

.ne can rightly ask+ Did the ?ord decree that the fish poplation increase to

sch an e2tent that the harbor had to be enlarged, and the railway line be

rebilt at the same time0

?]derit'+ r Day of $eckoning

<r" <"F" 7otes of <erweville wrote+ .Dring a recent trip to #amibia, my wife

and I paid a flying visit to ?]derit'" n the retrn trip we spent the night in a

hotel at As where we had a convivial chat to the manageress and her son, and

dring the corse of the conversation, the railway line was mentioned" She said

part of the line had been inoperable for two years, bt last year the Governmentdecided to repair and tili'e it again" Apparently it was covered nder so mch

sand that only the tops of telephone poles were protrding" The line was cleared

with blldo'ers and had to be repaired in some places, from what we cold

@dge from the ballast and fillings"

.They frther told s that the German Government is poring in vast amonts

of money 1mainly for specific pro@ects3 which has to keep the wheels trning,

so to speak" Then I told them something abot the Seer van $ensbrg6s visions,

particlarly those that had a bearing on the railway line to ?]derit'"

1Among other things, Seer said+ Dring that time all the trains in the Jnion are

standing still; all the motor cars are standing still" The only train line which will be operating is the one from 4rieska" !e will get or cannons and gns from

?]derit'bcht along that rote3"

.In the light of the above information, the day of reckoning for the 8#ew Soth

Africa6 is closer than we realise"0

4rieska and the Treaties

The Seer said dring that time the German Government will not only honor

the treaties signed between the $ebels and Germans in *>*H, bt+ .they are also

coming to help s clean p the contry"0

Then five German warships will dock at ?]derit', and 5an $ensbrg says they

will arm us3 because we will be unarmed (we will have no defence force any

longer'@ as soon as the warships doc, 9 see the *nglish fleeing from Rhodesiaand the Cape$ +he Ford will use the railway line built by %muts and Botha to

anne< 8erman /est for *ngland3 to grant us total freedom and independence$



(st after the end of the $ebellion, the Seer told General 9emp+ .r work is

complete" #ow we mst lay down or arms, for the time for realisation of or

freedom is not yet at hand"0 %e then e2plained to 9emp that they wold lose

this rond of the battle 1this was before the end of !!I3" .7ecase in the

distant ftre another war will break ot to contine this one, bt division and

confsion will leave the 7oers withot any hope, after which the war will be

rekindled, and with it, hope" For that reason General 7otha mst take German

!est, otherwise later the Germans will have no reason to reclaim it, thshonoring or treaties"0

According to the Seer, the loyal Afrikaners will then drive every @ingo

1Anglici'ed 7oer3 ot of the contry"

%owever, before that happens, they 1the 7oers3 wold go to 4rieska 1or

vicinity3 in their thosands to be armed" 5an $ensbrg remarked abot this

rally+ .I cold saddle my horse and ride for days withot knowing how many

Afrikaners have gathered there, for when I look down from a high place for a

good view, there are grey donkeys 1loyal Afrikaners3 as far as the eye can see"L

It seems nlikely that the Germans will come to or assistance, bt let s retrn

to the *>*H $ebellion+ It was the decision of Generals Smts and 7otha toattack German !est" The Afrikaners were opposed to it, bt Smts and 7otha

went ahead with their plans" This sparked the $ebellion by dissatisfied

Afrikaners, and appro2imately -- of them, nder command of General 9emp,

went to German !est to negotiate with the Germans" English troops attempted

to prevent them from reaching German !est, nonetheless they got throgh and

handed written agreements to the Germans in which they ndertook to not take

p arms against Germany"

7t Soth African Government troops eventally took German !est for

England and in the process the agreements were forgotten"

%owever, Seer van $ensbrg has predicted that those same agreements will

once again become e2tremely important for the 7oer nation" At a time whenthey find themselves in dire straits, he said, Germany will not only come to or

aid and arm s, bt also acknowledge the agreements"

<erino $ams and 7le ?etters

In <arch *>)), <r" 7oy <ssmann wrote a letter to Die Vol,sblad , relating

what the Seer had told him abot for important events which still had to be

flfilled, and when they cold be e2pected to do so+ 1*3 Great war trobles

which wold plnge the contry into chaos; 13 A brown& sited man who

wold nite the nation again; 13 a cop d6etat, and 1H3 Total freedom and

prosperity for the Afrikaner" <r" <ssmann wrote as follows+

.SirBDring the past few days many people have asked me abot the mandressed in a brown sit as mentioned by the Seer van $ensbrg" %e did not say

this man wold necessarily be the president" 7rown is or national color" %e

said the man who wold address the brghers from a hillock north of

?ichtenbrg, wold be dressed in a brown sit" The Seer spoke abot or ftre

$epblic""" if the Seer6s predictions are correct, then we mst not e2pect to get

or $epblic via the ballot bo2, bt by means of a cop d6etat"0

1The above mentioned declaration of the Seer6s vision H- years ago cased

great pheaval and it was ridicled by everybody; bt after the April *>>H

election, only an absolte fool wold dare hope that whites wold ever win

another election in Soth Africa, which wold enable them to declare their own

repblic3".4lease allow me to state which predictions are concrrent with this" %e 1the

Seer3 sees 4arliament in session+

?umping around and with the third blue letter they scatter and flee from the

Cape$ 9 see the P&s rushing home3 as they now appear as wild muscovy duc,s$7ecase the Seer saw ble as the German color, the 8ble letters6 indicate this

as a sign that sooner or later there cold be direct German intervention in the

affairs of Soth Africa" It rns concrrently with the presence of German

warships in ?]derit' at that stage" .The conseences will be war" There is no

government in the contry and total chaos and mayhem will be the order of the

day"0

This 8intervention6 will be to the benefit of the Afrikaner, bt it will case

serios problems for the Government, as the arrival of the first letter will start

ptting pressre on it to give in to certain demands" The second letter indicates

that these demands were not met and Government feels threatened, as ministers

are @mping arond as they will not know which way to go" The last letter

indicates a possible ltimatm to the Government, followed by the cop, after

which 4arliament is dissolved and flees from the Cape"

5an $ensbrg interpreted the frther corse of the vision to <r" <ssmann+

4arliament dissolves in chaos and there is no government any longer" !hen the

ministers arrive here, we are monted and ride in the direction of ?ichtenbrg"

1$eady for war3"

!e Cannot 4ersade Them

<r" <ssmann states frther+ .There are other visions related this one" I asked

the Seer+ 8%ow is it possible that we cannot convince the 8Afrikaner&sappe6

1liberals3 with the best argments and facts6 Seer replied+ I saw their eyesB

they are white like those of a blind animal and they pop ot" !e cannot

convince them" I then asked+ 8So how will we Afrikaners ever come together

then6 the Seer said+ I have seen the divided nation+ two pieces of wood, one

with pegs in it and the other with holes" The red picka2e goes over them" The

pegs are then in the holes and the two pieces of wood @oin so neatly that one

cannot see the @oints" I then asked 5an $ensbrg what this picka2e meant,

which he then e2plained+ !ar trobles or a frnace""" it is the ?ord who will

nite s again with that red&hot picka2e" And there 1at the hillock north of

?icht& enbrg3 we trn back and trek down here again @st as we did in *>*H,

bt in or own time" !estern Transvaal, Sothern Free State and Eastern Cape

meet at Grootrivier 1range $iver3 where we will meet the Germans and get all

the gns and cannons we will need"

The 7oer #ation Is Armed

At 4rieska where the Germans armed s 1made possible by the railway line

between 4rieska and ?]derit', originally bilt by 7otha and Smts3, 5an$ensbrg sees s trning arond and that or horns are sharp" 1!e are now a

force to be reckoned with3"



!e trn back there and I see s rolling in the first dolerite rocks at 9imberley"

1The dolerite rocks being rolled in means that 9imberley will be the first place

to be bombed by the 7oers3" This is the start of great troble" The 7oers

advance and on arrival, a nmber of dolerite rocks 1bombs3 fall" The troble has

scarcely started at 9imberley when I see the Jnion6s (ews, English and (ingoes

1enemies3 fleeing to 5ereeniging where they all assemble"

Seer said+ They also flee from German !est, 4ort Eli'abeth and East ?ondon to

5ereeniging" The English flee from $hodesia as far as <afikeng, then trntowards 5ereeniging"

The brghers from #orthern Transvaal and Free State 1those from ?ichtenbrg

prsing the English3 srrond the English there" Seer said the refgees trample

each other to death at a bridge spanning range $iver 1Jping& ton3" Then the

Germans arrive by rail to 4rieska with cannons, gns and ammnition for us"

%e then sees the place where they are trapped is hollow like a well, indicating

that their position is critical"

C%A4TE$

7lood $iver $ecalled

4rompted by a estion why these people were fleeing, 5an $ensbrg replied inan interesting, bt strange way+ .It will be becase of the Spectre of Terror

which God has created in their hearts" 1As it happened at 7lood river on that

day X*th December *==Y3" %manly speaking, they have @st as many brave

people as we do, bt we mst remember+ nobody is brave before God" In reply

to the estion why they were fleeing to 5ereeniging, the Seer said+ !e had to

sign the hmiliating Treaty at 5ereeniging, as well as give p or freedomB

this, after thosands of lives had been sacrificed and or contry literally trned

into a wilderness" Go read Isaiah *H"

5an $ensbrg also issed a clear warning that before this Spectre of Terror

came over the enemy, the 7oer nation wold have to kneel in genine

reconciliation and renonce the world as they did at 7lood $iver" !e mst praythat or sn does not set 1th Febrary *>3" ?ev" + *)&*+ And if ye shall

despise my stattes or if yor sol abhor my @dgments, so that ye will not do

all my commandments, bt that ye break my covenant+ I will also do this nto

yo+ I will even appoint over yo terror, consmption, and the brning age,

that shall consme the eyes, and case sorrow of the heart; and ye shall sow

yor seed in vain, for yor enemies shall eat it" And I will set my face against

yo, and ye shall be slain before yor enemies; they that hate yo shall reign

over yo; and ye shall flee when none prseth yo"

15irtally everything the 7oer sows and plants today is eaten by his enemies3"

As thogh he sat watching a movie, 5an $ensbrg described to <r" 7oy<ssmann what lay in store after reconciliation of the nation+ +hey 1the enemy3

burst out of the east and flee to Durban3 and even when they are on board the

ships3 they still shoot bac, at us$

It is interesting that he sees them fleeing to Drban" Since early days it has been

the seat of the Englishman, the Indian and Ml, all enemies of the 7oers;

frthermore, it is a very liberal city that will welcome the enemies of the 7oer

with open arms and try to assist them" +he great and final battle will ta,e place

there3 but eventually our enemies will sound the retreat and leave the country3

he said"

5an $ensbrg said he opened his old State 7ible at E2ods *H+*+ )nd oses

said unto the people3 .ear ye not3 stand still3 and see the salvation of the Ford3which He will shew to you to day3 for the *gyptians whom ye have seen to day3

In closing, <r" <ssmann emphasi'ed, remember, 5an $ensbrg said+ .!e get

a perfect $epblic from a perfect God, withot a penny6s national debt" At

4rieska my one shoe gets a new pper 1an interim government3+ then 9 see a

blue suit of clothes 1Germany,3 then a brown suit 17oers3, then a grey suit 1a

Divine person3, and when the burghers return from Durban after driving off the

enemy3 9 get a new pair of shoes3 a new saddle and bridleAthis means a

permanent 8overnment and a totally new beginning$

After the enemy has been conered, the 5ierkler is dipped in a bcket of

blood and hoisted over this new $epblic which Afrikaners have been fighting

for over so many decades" It will be a $epblic won throgh sorrow, sffering

and bloodshed and for which the nation had to make many sacrifices" After that,

the Seer predicted, the 7oer will en@oy nprecedented freedom and prosperity"

In closing, 8om6 9lasie confirmed that #orthern& and Sothern $hodesia

1Mambia and Mimbabwe3 wold become part of or $epblic when the

Germans come to reclaim German !est"

It is interesting to note that the Seer points to a man in a brown sit as the one

who will pacify the angry 7oers"A #ation !ithot A ?eader and A Shepherd

<essrs (oos %aasbroek and 1late3 4al 4rinsloo were of the opinion that the

8silence6 mentioned by 5an $ens& brg, will be concrrent with the period of

despondency which will descend on the Afrikaner nation after the election

1April *>>H3" This will ring in the 8dar& period' when matters will worsen for

the 7oer"

9 see the Boers& hats pulled over their eyes and their heads are hanging low$

1They look very despondent3" 9 see they have spots on their eyes li,e pearls

1#ow Israel will be homeless and withot leader or shepherd3"

.Then 5an $ensbrg said he saw the grass becoming dry 1the advent of winter

Bbt not necessarily the first winter after the election3; he also sees the grass

becoming white dry 1a bitterly cold winterBas we have never e2perienced

before3"""0

The 8silence6 and seeming peace after the election will soon be something of the

past, for, according to 1recently late3 <rs" Eli'e 7otha, her father, Dr" Servaas

$ossow, often told them over dinner that 5an $ensbrg had seen how drops of

blood had rolled across the land from #orth to Soth; mch more in the north

and #atal than in the Cape, and here and there fires also sprang pBthis predicts troble, mrder and violence again"



1Today, since the A#C takeover in *>>H, that vision has become reality" The

nrest, robberies, violence and bloodshed in the Cape is not as intense as in

#atal or Gateng3"

After that he saw people marching down the streets in (ohannesbrg 1mass&

action3" 5iolence erpts in Gateng and strikes take place all over the contry+

*st ctober *>*+ +he maie"cobs are on fire in >ohannesburg$ *)th (ly *>*>+

/hen the first rains fall and the grass starts turning green3 9 loo, at

Parliament3 because trouble will start there$$$

The merino sheep 1not only 7oer leaders any longer3 sit with their heads

together, talking and arging abot the many problems, strikes and violence in

the contry"

At this stage, hostility from Indian ranks reaches a crisis over the Afrikaans

langage, and all efforts to maintain it have already failed, becase 5an

$ensbrg sees Afrikaans fading into the backgrond+ Hth April *>+ ) yellow paper 1Indian inflence3 appears in the nion with something written on it

which fades (my writing' 1the ?angage of the 7oersB my writing and

everything connected with it is now being denied and trampled pon" All the

protests of the 7oer fall on deaf ears and he can only watch helplessly as the

official stats of his langage 8disappears63"

Important news reports are deliberately and openly being witheld from the

pblic, and there is total ignorance abot events in the contry, for news

coverage on T5 and radio is now in the hands of the enemy with strong

Commnist ties+ +here is a tunnel and the largest stream runs *ast 1reports of

nrest and bloodshed in #atal3" ) wide stream of blue water flows and in front

it becomes a sic,le 15iolence in Germany becomes world news; the local medianow in the hands of the Commnists 1the sickle3"

scarceBgold decreases in vale and:or the Stock market collapses3 then

another sieve appears on the floor3 1another election seems inevitable3"

It is at this point the three ble letters arrive in 4arliament" According to <r"

%aasbroek, the Germans are now demanding their territory which we handed

over to a black Government" !hen the last ble letter arrives, 5an $ens& brg

sees+ ) vehicle which loo,s li,e a flat"bottomed boat3 landing 1on the west

coast3"

For some or other reason 5an $ensbrg once again asked <r" <ssmann not to

8tell the people everything; in particlar do not say too mch abot the strong

German force which is coming to assist the 7oers6"

<r" %aasbroek said+ .Shortly after this, 8om6 9lasie saw the Government

falling apart" It will not only be the #4, bt also the Government that took over

from them"

.The 7oer nation is still divided at this stage, and it is then 8om6 9lasie saw

the red picka2e go over it 1the divided nation is sffering badly nder the

Commnists, bt nite nder a spirital leader3" I think the Commnists willinitiate something"""0

#ow nothing can prevent the bloody conflict ahead"



5an $ensbrg said he sees everyone who played a part in the srrender

1whether they were actively involved, or approved of it3 will be attacked by the

%pectre of +error he previosly saw coming over the enemies of the 7oer" %e

sees how these peopleBwomen in particlarBfleeing from their homes, not

even having time to sht doors or windows, becase while they are rnning in

terror, the crtains are blowing arond in the open windows"

7t for those who knew that reform wold only bring abot harm and

hmiliation, there will be no fear, for their salvation is at hand"This period will also ring in the start of !!"

$ivers of 7lood In Eastern Erope

5an $ensbrg warned that things wold go horribly wrong in Eastern Erope

1$ssia3 and on or northern borders, for when the strggle in $ssia is at its

peak, he sees a pot with fire in the sothwest 1Angola3, indicating that ethnic

violence will start p in all its fry a(ain.

%owever, matters will be far worse in $ssia, for it is there he saw the dreadful

civil )ar, and while this is raging the world will stand by, looking on helplessly"

<r" (oos %aasbroek, brother&in&law of <r" 7oy <ss& mann, remembers almost

!ith these words, the Seer also referred for the first time to a vision he had

abot the start and progress of the Third 1and last3 !orld !ar" The details were

only made known dring the *>H-6s by one 8pa6 1Grandfather3 9rase" Seer

It is the black nations, along with a few whites, who will rise p and case

problems overseas against the whites, particlarly in England" Then 5an

$ensbrg saw the pig hanging from a hook in EnglandBit had been cleaned,

hanging in 7loemfontein, bt withot the stain, indicating that or flag, now

also stream into that contry" %owever, before these events, a dreadfl civil war

will break ot in $ssia and conseently America and Germany will stand

These visions of the strggle in $ssia and Angola reminded <r" <ssmann of

wold anchor in German !est, adding that he saw this long before sch a

against the 7oer and his Government" A revoltion is brewing here and many of

s will be slaghtered" /e will have to defend ourselves against them and all

)fri,aners will have to stand together to save ourselves from e<tinction$

They are secretly plotting to regain power by means of revoltion and violence,

which is why 7ritish troops will secretly be transported here to assist them" r

army will split; or people will go ot from them, bt they will be left witheverything" The English are very prposefl and their spies are all over" <any

people in the contry allege they are stanch nationalists, bt they are not" The

same is happening in the police" r enemies will careflly meet covertly,

*ngland is totally destroyed$ The Germans of Stalingrad are with the $ssians

Bthey are being intimidated, ths they have no choice" the $ssians contine

fighting in Erope and while flattening everything in their path on the way to

Gibraltar, they are stopped once again at the Spanish 4yrenees montains by

The 7oers are smmoned to a hillock north of ?icht& enbrg in !estern

Transvaal, and it is at this hillock that the man in the brown sit makes his firstappearance" The ons rests on him to call the rebellios, dissatisfied and

pgnacios 7oers to order and channel their fry in the right direction"

#obody will know beforehand who this man is, as the nation will only become

aware of him when he goes to address them from that hillock at ?ichtenbrg"

The English historian, (lian 2ford, writes in his book+ ) Prophet with

Honour3 that he was told by 8om6 #icolaas6 daghters their father was 8very

well acainted6 with a man in a brown sit who 8appeared to him6 for the first

time dring the distrbing vision of death and destrction dring the nd .!ar

of Freedom0 1Anglo&7oer !ar3" 2ford says that this man continosly

appeared to the Seer to interpret the meanings of .complicated visions to him"0

1Coinciding with this, there was also a second person who also appeared

reglarly to 5an $ensbrg in his visions, vi'" .the man in the grey sit"0 5an

$ensbrg described him as being a Divine being, and after one sch

appearance, told Adaan de la $ey+ 9 was sent home on !1th .ebruary 01223 as 9

was suffering intense pain from a whitlow on my finger$ 9 was staying with a

8erman family in Hopetown and fell asleep on the couch$ +he Divine being

appeared before me and as,ed whether 9 would refuse to obey an order given to

me by 8od$ %ince then 9 have never hesitated to tell what 9 have seen'$

In later years the Seer often described the man in the brown sit who wold

address the nation from the hillock at ?ichtenbrg" ne was as follows+ He is

not tall and will address the tempestuous Boers in a restful3 soothing manner$ He will be a genuine )fri,aner3 a Boer down to his marrow$ /hat he has to say

will touch the hearts of the nation and anyone who still harboured any doubts3

will accept him immediately as leader$$$



!hen the new leader has ended his speech, 5an $ens& brg sees many hobbled

horses gra'ing arond the hillock" This means the men are ready and willing to

fight; there is no stopping them now" Even the new leader does nothing to stop

them, as he rged them to nite, take p arms and meet the enemy as believers"

The 7oers trn sothwards towards 4rieska from ?icht& enbrg" A miracle

occrs and the 7oers get ne2pected help in the form of 8new gns6 at

which had been hidden by the Germans dring !! in the 4yrenees montains

near Spain, and which were now transported in warships to ?]derit' 7ay"

Everything takes a trn, for they are e2tremely active in preparing to confront

the enemy along with the German forces en the Third 1and last3 !ar of

Free state and the Cape the opportnity to march from 4rieska" n the way to5ereeniging, the first bombs fall on 9imberley where thosands will die" They

This vision gave the Seer a brief pictre of the war which will still be foght

between the 7oers and the black forces of Mimbabwe 1and possibly Mambia

also3 after the rest of Sothern Africa has already been taken over by them, and

the English driven ot of the contry" The 9rase docment indicates that astrong German contingent will also assist the 7oers here"

The Seer saw the 8%pectre of +error& descending over or enemies at the 8well6

near 5ereeniging, and obsessed with fear, they fled, leaving everything behind

that they had stolen from s since the time of the 5ow" The 7oer forces drive

abot the two boys to <r" Dreyer+ The little 89affir6 is a weaker, less intelligent

leader as a boy and wold always be beaten in every aspect by the other boy"

Interpretation: In Erope the whites were always the rlers and they en@oyed

strong spport from the well& wishing Americans" %owever, things will change

drastically when Africa begins to overrn Erope and black Commnists 1as

here in Soth AfricaBcompare ne2t vision that follows3 take over temporary power in Erope with America6s help"

the black boy flees in a northerly direction 1from where he came3"

n >th September *>*> 5an $ensbrg had a similar vision and he gave a

The First 4lage

In time to come matters will go badly, said 5an $ensbrg" .I see seven black

clods in the sky and raindrops begin to fall" A man in a grey sit 1somebody

divine3 appeared and asked me whether I had seen the clods, and I replied yes,

I saw two clods in the east, west and soth, bt only one in the north" Then the

man said to me+ 8Those are seven disasters God is going to send over Englandwhich will destroy it"""0 Then 5an $ensbrg remembered the vision of the

woman covered in ribbons"

The Second 4lage

%e tells that when he was imprisoned in the Fort in *>*H, one night he saw how

a $ebellion officer stood in a well with him 1great troble3" %owever, there was

a ladder in the well and he 1the Seer3 stood with one foot on the first rng"

Simltaneosly he saw the grass in England catch alight 1civil war3 and the

flames are high, then disappear, and the contry looks like a harrowed field

after ploghing"

Then a mlticolored pig stood in a well 1England in dire straits3 and it waslicking the sides of the well" It seemed nable to get ot" Some aloe stmps lay

across the well 1The 7ritish government was attempting to hide its problems

from the rest of the world3" The pig is very hngry, indication a great famine in

England in the ftre"

!hen he saw this, he knew immediately that their grop in the Fort wold be

resced from the trobles of the $ebellion and its conseencesBbeing the

thosands of ponds demanded from the rebels by the Government" 7t there

was no salvation 1ladder3 for the mlticolored pig, indicating England6s

downfall, also economically+

.I saw pigs rnning across a dam wall" The dam becomes empty and a large

bird sits on the paving stones beneath" A small bird comes flying along bt isimmediately swallowed p by the large bird"0 %e interpreted this as follows+

.The dam is America who intends lending money to England, conseently

England will be financially rined"0

The Third 4lage

Famine and hnger will come over England and dring that time great herds of

black cattle 1people from Africa and India3 will enter the contry from the east"

ne beast will stop and look back, indicating from which arter the danger

will come; all the colored races from England6s colonies will go there,

reslting in racial conflictBfor Africa and the rient will be sffering and

desperate hordes of sick and hngry Indians and blacks will seek refge inEngland and other parts of Erope"

The Forth 4lage

%e sees this as a pot with fire nderneath" #ormal pots stand in England and

France, indicating civil wars, bt a hge caldron, with a glowing fire, stands in

$ssia, indicating a large&scale civil war" Then Germany and America attack

$ssia as allies"

The Fifth 4lage

The Seer relates how, dring !!I, he saw how the 7ritish fleet attacked

Germany at (tland" %e saw 9itch& ener dying there and the 7ritish fleet looked

like scale& dishes on the water" .This means they clashed, bt were fond to be

too light"""0 7t he saw the ftre 7ritish fleet as empty bo2es, floating withotdirection" They are seless and withot direction, for+ .!hat nation can fight if

it is e2periencing civil war and famine0

%e told 7oy <ssmann+ .I see a man on a black horse riding into the water" I

see him as clearly as I6m seeing yo and the water is splashing over him" %orse

and rider disappear nder the water" 0England6s military force will meet the

same end as did 4haraoh6s horsemen who prsed the Israelites in the $ed Sea"

The Seventh 4lage

or 1the 7oer nation6s3 contribtion to England6s downfall"""0

1Dring the first decade of this centry it was general knowledge in a certain

The last plage to hit England will be as a reslt of strong action by the 7oer

thosands of blacks and English fleeing Soth Africa to England to seek refge

after the strggle in which the Afrikaner regains his freedom" nce the blackhordes arrive in England, its economy will collapse and the contry will finally

.In years the frail man is not oldBfifty&forBbt he became grey and bent in

Sndays, he sally spent them with his family" telling them abot his

prophecies, particlarly dring his later years when age started bending him"

%owever, with his gift of prophecy he was always a person who cold never be

nderstood or e2plained"L

In the dsk of his life, becase of ill&health and concern abot the ftre of his

people, the Seer became more withdrawn into his own world of thoght to

meditate in solitde"

Althogh he sffered from high blood pressre and arthritis, it is nknown

whether he ever conslted a doctor, or whether any medication was prescribedfor him"

#evertheless, a nmber of well&known doctors of his time knew him well"

Among them were people like Doctors 5on $ennenkampf, $amsbottom and the



poet, C" ?ois ?eipoldt" nly ?eipoldt once wrote down a few impressions

abot the Seer and said this abot his appearance and health+ .%e is a

%e is no medimBrather, an introvert, obsessed with his own meditations

which he interprets with symbolisms" %is long slender fingers, and his longish

limbs 1a leptosomic type3, were remarkable and seemed to be easily inflenced

by changes in the weather"

9allie van $ensbrg told how, in the weeks before his father6s death, he woldoften enter the kitchen and see him sitting alone in a corner, his large right fist

folded over the head of his walking stick, ga'ing far away like someone who

was astonished at something happening there"

friends abot it, whereas on other occasions many days wold passBas thogh

The 7ible and Seer6s 5isions

()maing parallels'

The frther I delved into the old 7oer prophet6s visions, the more I came to the

reali'ation that many of the prophecies of the ld Testament were applicable to

the 7oer nation, for the symbols and comparisons in the Seer6s visions were, in

many cases, almost identical to those tili'ed by the 7iblical prophets when

they came to Israel with a Divine message"



Therefore I have no dobt that 5an $ensbrg van $ensbrg acted as a prophet

for the descendants of the 7oer nation"

For ite some time now I have been making a stdy of this interesting aspect

of the Seer6s prophecies, and in the process received mch assistance from

<essrs (ohannes Gagiano of 5an der 7i@l 4ark and 4ieter !hite of

(ohannesbrg" %owever, becase it wold @stify writing a separate book, I will

toch on only a few references+

<r" (ohannes Gagiano writes+ .The 7iblical trths are reconfirmed throgh thevisions of or own prophet, whom I had the privilege of knowing personally"

%e often took my child6s hand in his and confirmed to s 1my grandfather,

father and myself3 these things which were prophesied throgh God thosands

of years ago"

.There are many of 8om6 #icolaas6 visions which are a direct revelation of the

prophecies from the ld Testament over God6s people, and over the histories of

(dah and Israel" 5an $ensbrg often named the relevant Scriptres to e2plain

his words" For e2ample, he oted Isaiah *H+*+ .or the Ford will have mercy on

>acob3 and will yet choose 9srael3 and set them in their own landG and the

strangers shall be ?oined with them3 and they shall cleave to the house of >acob$$$

%e also spoke of a greater division which will come than the one which we

e2perienced the past H- years"

The 4i+le: In Deteronomy =+HH, God warns %is people that if they do not

obey %is orders, %e will make those that were at the head, the tail end, and their

enemies arond them will then become the head"

Seer: 5an $ensbrg also warned that in the times when we, as nation, take the

wrong road, and when everything is pside&down and inside&ot, they 1or

enemies3 will be the masters and we will be the slaves"

The 4i+le: Ecclestiastes *-+ , 1Good #ews 7ible3 tells s+ %tupid people are

given positions of authority while rich men are ignored$ 9 have seen slaves onhorsebac, while noblemen go on foot li,e slaves$

Seer: In the past the Afrikaner was always privileged to ride on the wagon,

while the black man acted as his 8rope&leader6 1the ends of a rawhide rope were

tied arond the horns of the two lead o2en, and the boy or man wold literally

lead the o2en by means of this rope3" %owever, it was /EVE* e2pected of this

rope leader to pll the wagon"

n )th <ay *>* the Seer had a vision of a team of grey donkeys plling a

yellow wagon 1Indians3 throgh a mddy marsh; the brake was on, bt the

donkeys managed to pll the wagon throgh"

!hen the Seer speaks of donkeys in general, it refers to A?? Afrikaners, btwhen he describes them as G$EK D#9EKS, these are the T$JE

AF$I9A#E$S; in other words, only the conservative elements in the 7E$

#ATI#"

!ith this vision he saw the nightmare which has now become a reality for s"

!e have been forced to alight from the wagon; the

rope&leaders not only ride the wagon now, bt have also tightened the brake"

According to the Seer, we will have to pll the wagon throgh this <JDDK

<A$S%, whether we like it or not"

f corse, he did not know that today it wold be known as the *AVF

T*AI/G

At the moment we are rnning easily with the wagon, the traces are hanging

loose, for the road is still level and the brake is not too tight" %owever, sooner

or later we will reach the <JDDK <A$S%, and then the brake will be

tightened and we will begin to pant and sweat nder the load"



.Every now and then I say to my wife+ ?ook at what is happening nowB5an

$ensbrg predicted e2actly this" !e mst @st cling strongly to or faith in God,

becase we have not yet reached the point to which we are descending" It is @st

arond the corner" The whites are systematically being degraded; so mch so

that we are almost @st good enogh to pay in order for them to contine with

their evil deeds" %owever, we mst never forget that we are now e2iles nder

the blacks as Israel was in e2ile nder the heathen nations" !hat we did wrong,

is not so terrible as what the (ews did, for they mrdered Christ".?ook, Soth Africa to me is the way (ohanna 7randt described it+ 8od&s ?ewel ,

and therefore I believe the ?ord wants s to live here in 8%armony6, and show

love towards one another" 7t instead of love, there is so mch rancor and

hatred among the whites now, that God can do nothing else at this stage bt to

e2ile s, so that we, as a reslt of hardships, will eventally be compelled to

live together 1in harmony3 if we want to srvive in Soth Africa"

.It is not a pretty pictre, bt these things are staring s in the face and which

we will have to rectify before God will change %is vision towards s"

.Do yo recall 5an $ensbrg saying abot events to come, that we will be the

last to enter, bt first to emer(e This cold have something to do with all thedistrbances here in Africa There is troble everywhere in Africa, and it cold

@st be that we will be the last to become involved in the distrbances, bt be

first to see the end of it At this stage I think that Mimbabwe and Soth Africa

have the most whites to pt a swift end to the distrbances" 7t then I say

again, we will have to get or priorities right towards God, otherwise we cold

find or& selves in troble here"

not tie ourselves to the foremen1leaders3" +his is very important3 for even in the

crisis hour of our nation&s e<istence3 they will pretend to assist us3 but their
