what difference is there between this and digging our own graves ? ”
Mr. Birkenstock said that the question about the goldfields must be carefully considered. This
source of income must not be given up.
The meeting was then closed with prayer.
SATURDAY, MAY17TH, 1902.
The Chairman first called upon Chief-Commandant de Wet to offer up prayer.
A private report from Mr. J. Schmorderer, who had brought the missive from the deputation in
Europe, was then read.
The first delegate to speak was Landdrost Bosman (Wakkerstroom), who said :
“ My opinion is that the best way of ascertaining the probable future course of events is to see
what has already happened in the past. A year ago there were six hundred burghers in my district, and
each man had a horse ; now there are not more than half that number, and many of them have to go on
foot. Last year we had from three to four thousand bags of maize ready to hand ; this year there are not
more than as many hundred, and how to get at them is more than I can tell. If such has been the history
of the past year, in what sort of condition shall we be at the end of the present one ?
“ The great difficulty with regard to our families is not how to clothe them, but how to feed them.
I know of a woman who has lived for weeks on nothing but fruit. I myself have had to satisfy my
hunger with mealies for days together, although I have no wish to complain about it. Even the scanty
food we can get has to be obtained from the Kaffirs by persuasion. Moreover, the Kaffirs side with
the English, who in their counter-marches are clearing all the food out of the country. “
The men in my district told me that if I came back and reported that the war was to be continued,
they would be obliged—for the sake of their wives and children—to go straight to the nearest English
camp and lay down their arms. As to the women, it is true that they are at present full of hope and
courage, but if they knew how matters stood in the veldt, they would think very differently. Even now
there are many of them who say that the war ought to be put a stop to, if only for their sakes.
