    1. [SOUTH-AFRICA] Zuurbekom aka Suurbekom
    2. Dennis Pretorius
    3. Hallo All Suurbekom aka Zuurbekom is a group of agricultural holdings just North of the main road between Johannesburg and Potchefstroom in the Westonaria Municipal area and part of the West Rand District. It lies directly South of Krugersdorp. It is still a largely undeveloped area but is fast being "encroached" by the sprawl of low cost housing developments both from Johannesburg and Westonaria. 20/30 years ago it was country smallholdings producing mainly sheep/cattle/chicken farming. Most of the underground rights are held by Mining conglomerates whilst the surface rights are held by small landowners. Hope this helps Kind regards PS - I live about 20 km north of the area in Krugersdorp. More kind regards Dennis Pretorius Krugersdorp South Africa Tel - 011-762-8911 Cel - 083-679-8541 Fax - 086-609-8541

    3. Hi Lucky According to "The South African Family Encyclopaedia" written & compiled by Peter Joyce, published 1989: Cape Colony "... in 1814 ... became a crown colony" and ".. full executive control ... was granted to the Cape colonials in 1872." "In 1910, the Cape Colony became the Province of the Cape of Good Hope, ..." Under Cape Province it states "The Province of the Cape of Good Hope, as it is officially known, ..."

    3. Hi Lucky, Beaufort West was established in 1818. It would have been a town in the Cape Colony at this time. The provincial names, like all political areas worldwide, is subject to manipulation and change (witness the British counties with their name changes and shifting boundaries). As best I can determine (hopefully someone will either back me up or correct me) the original area was called the Cape Colony and extended to the Fish River in the East. The area beyond this was known as Griequaland East. What we came to know as the Cape Province (I don't think that this name was ever officially recognised) was officially established as the Cape of Good Hope Province in 1910. This held until 1994 when this area was split up into Western, Eastern and Northern Cape. This comes up regularly because of the confusion it can cause in citing paces. I think most folk use the name in use at the time of the event. Zuurbekom was once a farm (your 'barren, unoccupied land') but was obviously incorporated into the expanding urban areas of Soweto and the like. Hope this helps, Paddy On 5 January 2014 09:23, Laquita Belinfante <[email protected]> wrote: > Good Morning all, > > > > If am man died in Feb 1983 in Zuurbekom, Transvaal, South Africa, where or > what would that be?

    3. Hello Lucky, Sunday, January 5, 2014, 7:23:41 AM, you asked: LB> I have no idea when South Africa changed from Cape of Good hope to Cape LB> Colony to Cape Province, to Eastern/Western Cape. Would someone kindly LB> enlighten me? Like Andrew I went to Google but, although there are at least half a dozen Wikipedia articles on the Cape and SA they all seem to be pretty vague on historical namings. I belive the following, off the top of my head, is reasonably accurate: Up to 1910 and the Union of SA, the Stamps issued by the Cape government gave its name as The Cape of Good Hope (an english translation of the original Dutch Cabo de Goed Hoop, itself a translation of the original Portuguese Cabo de Bona Esperanza. >From the Union of South Africa in 1910 it was known as the Cape Province. More recently, I believe, it has been divided into several smaller administrative units. Generally speaking you can safely refer to it as the Cape of Good Hope until 1910 when it became part of the larger union.

New Brighton is in Port Elizabeth. WOODSTOCK, C.P. Industrial and residential suburb of Cape Town, some a km east of the City Hall. It was originally named Papendorp, after Pieter van Papendorp, who lived there toward the end of the 18th century. More dwellings were built along the main road, near Van Papendorp's house, in the first half of the 19th century, and by 1845 there were an English church and school. In the second half of the century development accelerated, especially after the coming of the railway early in the 18605, and Papendorp became a fashionable residential town. Amalgamation with Salt River took place in 1881, the inhabitants voting for the name Woodstock for the new municipality. There was a fine, open beach frequented both by Capetonians and visitors, but from about 1903 a building boom set in, with industrialisation, railway development and gradually increasing congestion. Woodstock was incorporated into Cape Town in 1913. The last of Woodstock beach disappeared when the extensions to Table Bay harbour were constructed in the early 19705. The old French Line - fortifications constructed by French troops defending the Cape in 1780 - ran through what is now Woodstock. Woodstock had two railway stations: the present one, being the first station from Cape Town on the main line, and a now disused station next to the two Salt River power-stations near the former Woodstock beach. This second Woodstock railway station served the Milnerton line, a private railway about 7 km in length controlled by Graaff's Trust. Milnerton was the first terminal, situated near the homestead on the old farm Jan Biesjeskraal. The line was opened to passenger and goods traffic and extended from Milnerton station (later demolished) to Ascot racecourse in 1908, but in 1916 most of the track was broken up. The remaining portion of the track, as far as Paarden Island, was ceded to the State and is still operated for goods traffic.

In the second half of the century development accelerated, especially after the coming of the railway early in the 18605, and Papendorp became a fashionable residential town. Amalgamation with Salt River took place in 1881, the inhabitants voting for the name Woodstock for the new municipality. There was a fine, open beach frequented both by Capetonians and visitors, but from about 1903 a building boom set in, with industrialisation, railway development and gradually increasing congestion. Woodstock was incorporated into Cape Town in 1913. The last of Woodstock beach disappeared when the extensions to Table Bay harbour were constructed in the early 19705. The old French Line - fortifications constructed by French troops defending the Cape in 1780 - ran through what is now Woodstock. Woodstock had two railway stations: the present one, being the first station from Cape Town on the main line, and a now disused station next to the two Salt River power-stations near the former Woodstock beach. This second Woodstock railway station served the Milnerton line, a private railway about 7 km in length controlled by Graaff's Trust. Milnerton was the first terminal, situated near the homestead on the old farm Jan Biesjeskraal. The line was opened to passenger and goods traffic and extended from Milnerton station (later demolished) to Ascot racecourse in 1908, but in 1916 most of the track was broken up. The remaining portion of the track, as far as Paarden Island, was ceded to the State and is still operated for goods traffic.
