I will support any team that play against the Super Vomit Kings – even Zimbabwe, or Venezuela – hell even aliens from MARS but never such a bunch of Scum as the Watson’s personal vomit stooges…Cant wait to see the doos being booed to pieces at Loftus and Ellis Park especally!!! Wonder nog steeds of die gorrel hou “per ongeluk” was ..glo nie – was net nie hard genoeg nie!!

Daardie sinnelose geradbraak en haglike spelling kan net die gevolg wees van ‘n Oos-Kaapse matriek en/of ‘n hele paar sterkerige tikdampe.

He was an Austrian immigrant that settled in the Eastern Cape. It has been passed down the generations & ultimately down to me that those days it was customary among the white landowners that when they were commandeered to fight in the Xhosa (Frontier) Wars they could send an able-bodied man in their stead (& of course pay him to do so). I have calculated that my great-grandfather fought on this (mercenary) basis in the 9th & final Xhosa War (1877-79), aka the Fengu-Gcaleka War. “These mixed-race commandos were recruited locally from Boer, Fengu, Khoi and settler frontier people.”
Wikipedia reports further that “the conflict began with inter-tribal strife between the Fengu and the Gcaleka, it then developed into a war when the British entered on the side of the Fengu, then it led to a power struggle between the settler forces as the Cape Colony tried to contain the British Imperial troops, and it ended with a long guerrilla war.”
My great-grandfather was at one stage employed by Sir Percy Fitzpatrick (of Jock of the Bushveld, military & parliamentary fame) at his Amanzi Estates near Uitenhage, but digesting the history I think that must have been subsequent to the Frontier Wars.
My father has told me quite a few tales about when my great-granddad was on kommando.

The thing that strikes me about this is that our forebears (yours & mine) were probably fighting & spilling blood on opposing sides in the Eastern Cape, & today, less than 150 years later we are sharing pleasantries & thoughts in the blogosphere & jointly fighting a good fight for the Eastern Cape, our “homeland”.
Once a frontiersman, always one :-)

Go well, Transie, Peter & all other frontiersmen

Sure they are a bunch of journeymen,never-has-beens and never-will-be’s and Im no fan of the Watsons but they are getting an oppurtunity and that’s all they asked for.How they got there is another matter altogether which is irrevelant now since the past can’t be changed.Those people proclaiming that they will back ANY team opposing the Kings,I rank them up there with the much maligned Capesaders..backing others above their own..Which of course is fine by me…freedom of choice and all that..so yeah…

GO KINGS!
