Hi Lucky I have no access to the Registers held at the Archives in Pretoria, but see that the DRC was built in 1866 in Ventersdorp but have no idea what Registers survive. I'm surprised they were still alive to have a child born in 1998!!

For P Pretorius X JJ Niman. The only information I have is birth of a child in 1998? Lucky As far as marriage registers at the Registrar of Births, Marriages & Deaths are concerned, the following is the situation: Transvaal from 1861 (virtually complete)
