Stories
- about this farm
Rondawel's history: from a widow's mark to today's Marincowitz farm
From a loan-farm widow who signed with a mark to the Marincowitz farm of today: the full documented history of Rondabel No. 124 - the Venter household of 1829, the twelve-farm grant day of 1841, the Oosthuizen-Theron partnership of 1868, the 1910-34 subdivisions, and the two graves by the huis nobody has read.
Held with the neighbouring portions
One holder had this ground and the pieces below at the same time, so on the ground they were very likely worked as one farm even though the cadastre keeps them apart. Each keeps its own history here; this only records that they were in the same hands.
- from 1921 Elandsfontein (Rondabel No. 124 Ptn 6)
Before this ground was cut out
This is the history of Rondabel, the farm this ground was part of until 1919. It is shown here because this ground was that farm, and separately from what follows because before the cut the record says the farm's name and not which part of it. Not everything below necessarily happened on this piece.

Research notes
SG Dgm 270/1919. Transferred to ALMERO JACOBUS HITGE OOSTHUIZEN, 10 June 1919. Bounded south by Crown Land.
[13 Aug 2026] Renamed to the one form this model uses for every portion - the portion's own name, then the parent farm, its number and the portion in brackets - so that a name is legible in a list, a search result and a map popup without the reader having to know which farm number is which. It read "Hartebeest Voedpad (Rondabel Ptn 5)" before. Nothing about the ground changed.
The research behind this page, kept separate from it: dated working notes, open questions, and what is not yet settled.
Open questions
-
Morgen or hectares? extent_text may be inconsistent
priority 1 · LEAD-0007
Are the figures in parcels.extent_text really morgen, or are some of them hectares mislabelled as morgen?
What would settle it Reading the figure and its unit directly off the diagrams for the nine flagged parcels.
