Farm number
No. 124
Portion
5
District
Prince Albert
Extent, as the diagram states it
1606 morgen 79 sq roods
Modern surveyed area
1390.9 ha

The historic extent and the modern surveyed area are two separate measurements and are not presented here as confirming each other. The first is what a surveyor wrote on a diagram, usually in morgen. The second is what the modern cadastre draws.

Why this farm is here

Almero Jacobus Hitge Oosthuizen held it. 12 km from Klaarstroom.

Almero Jacobus Hitge Oosthuizen is on record on this ground directly. No trace needed.

Stories

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.

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.
