F Brazier developed the township; Jan Haak put up the first iron-and-wood building; Thomas Vinson a shop, a German firm a butchery, Cole of Cape Town a bakery, Dr Bastable a practice. Two shops, a hotel, a bottle store, barbers and blacksmiths followed, and a police sergeant with two constables. | [1 Aug 2026, date audit] Two rows recorded Bothma laying out Gatsplaas.
