Schapera, Van Rensburg and Bergs

Yet that something is, ‘knowing nothing’. It does seem ridiculous doesn’t it? But let’s start with van Rensburg.

I was with a small group of people the other day and the conversation had turned to the past when I mentioned Swaneng and van Rensburg. Swaneng’, immediately queried the expat lady who has lived here for a number of years,  ‘do you mean Jwaneng’? It immediately turned out that she had never heard of Swaneng School and knew nothing about van Rensburg and his remarkable achievements.
