Interesting facts about this location
Deneys Reitz
Deneys Reitz (1882—1944), son of Francis William Reitz, was a Boer soldier, later a South African soldier in the First World War, and a politician. While in exile in Madagascar, he wrote about his experience of the Second Boer War (1899–1902), so that, when it was eventually edited and published in 1929 as Commando: A Boer Journal Of The Boer War, it still had the freshness and detail of an account written soon after the war.
