301 Suzaan Alicia's names came from her two grandmothers. "Suzaan" is derived from Susanna, the name of her maternal grandmother. "Alicia" comes from the paternal grandmother whose grandparents were "bittereinders" who decided not to live under the British flag after the Anglo Boer War. They then emigrated to Argentine in 1905. Suzaan's paternal grandmother was born in a town called Comodoro Rivadavia and when her grandmother's birth was registered in Argentina, her name was recorded as Alicia instead of Aletta, being the Spanish version of the name.
She attended a Christian School called Tehilla in Port Elizabeth from January 1997 to July 2003 and thereafter St Marks Community School. She matriculated in 2010 and then studied at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU the old UPE). She obtained BCom C:3 Accounting Cum Laude in 2013 and BCom Honours (Accounting) at NMMU in 2014. She is currently working at Deloitte in Cape Town.

309 Waterverf portretjies van Johannes Hendricus Crous (ook bekend as "Groot Jan") en sy vrou Johanna Dorothea Gildenhuyzen wat in 1822-1823 deur 'n Mnr. Keet geskilder is, word in die argief van die Drostdy Museum, Swellendam bewaar.
Miemie Rothmann het dit later gekopieer en die portrette word in die museum uitgestal.
Johannes Crous dien as diaken in die N.G. Gemeente in 1802. In 1813 het ene Johannes Hendrik Crous aan die kerk gewerk.
Johannes Hendricus het in 1799 die Engelse regering aan die Kaap gehelp om die tweede opstand onder die burgers van Swellendam te onderdruk.
Volgens Tomlinson (1943 : 84-85) het 40 boere op sy plaas Kliprivier aangedoen onderweg na Swellendam.
Ewe vriendelik het Crous kos voorgesit en liberaal met die wyn uit sy kelder te werk gegaan.
Nadat die manne gaan rus het, het hy al 40 gewere buite aksie gestel en vir Landdros Faure op Swellendam in kennis gestel van die teenwoordigheid van die opstandelinge op sy plaas.
Dit was die einde van die opstand.
Hy het later 'n groot jagvriend van Lord Charles Somerset geword en vir sy dienste die leningsplaas Somersetsgift as geskenk van die goewerneur ontvang.

311 William Jervois of the Albany museum wrote as follows about Samuel Liversage:
I have browsed through our Liversage file and can only offer the sad news that, although most of Samuel (snr)'s children are quite well documented, there is nothing to add to Samuel (jnr), other than to say that Glen Linden is up in the Winterberg, quite a long way to the north of here. From there, at a fairly early date, Samuel (snr) migrated to Natal and settled near Howick, where he and his second wife died and are buried on the farm presently called "Benvie", but which was then called Nooitgedaght", in the Kaarkloof. Samuel (snr) was accompanied by most of his children, with the apparent exception of Samuel (jnr). I get the feeling that there may have been friction between the two!

314 Written by Ferdi in 2001.
"I was born in Keetmanshoop, SWA on the 24th of September 1976. My parents were both teachers and in 1978 we moved to Windhoek. My grandparents, Sampie and Aletta, and uncle Samie and aunt Estelle also stayed in Windhoek at the time. From here we moved to Kimberly in 1980 where I attended Grade 1 at Eureka Primary School (1983). My dad was a teacher at Diamantveld High School. He then applied for a job at the Ermelo Technical College, and we moved there in 1984. In Ermelo, I attended J.J. van der Merwe Primary School until grade 5.
In 1987 we moved to Bellville where I attended Welgemoed Primary School from 1987 to 1989. My dad worked at the Cape Town Technical Colleage at the time, and my mother started her own estate agency. I attended DF Malan High School from 1990 to 1994, and participated in the school choirs, rugby, golf, cricket and athletic teams. I also did a bit of acting and played a main role in the school play "Kinkels in the Kabels". Our chamber choir did a tour of Europe (France, Vienna, Hungary and Chech Republic). We took part in an international choir competition in Debrecen, Hungary, and was rated the top youth choir and also attained the highest mark in the competition of 96%.
I was fortunate to receive a full bursary in my final year at school from Old Mutual to become an actuary. I furthered my studies at the University of Stellenbosch from 1995 to 1998, where I attended Eendrag men's residence. I completed my bachelors degree in mathematics, and an honours degree in actuarial science. I then started work at Old Mutual in 1999, where I continued studying part time to finish my actuarial exams through the Institute of Actuaries in London.
During my varsity career I also met a beautiful young woman, Susan, which I married after six years in 2001. Highlights from varsity was the crowning as Down-Down champions, beating Dagbreek and Wilgenhof rugby teams for two consecutive years, playing for the u/19, u/20 and senior Maties rugby teams. I also did a bit of travelling during my varsity years and back packed in the Far East (Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand in 1996), and did a tour of Germany and Belgium with Susan and her parents (1997). I visited Namibia with a few friends in 1998, staying at places like Ai-Ais, Sesriem & Sossusvlei, Swakopmund and Etosha Game Park.
I also developed a great love for sea fishing and went fishing with a few friends from work in Namibia (2000 and 2001). We camped at Mile 108, north of Hentie's Bay, where we made some good catches of Steenbras, Cob, Galjoen and Kolstert."
