Klein Vlei (Middelwater portion)

Die plaas se eie geskiedenis — die toekenning, die oorspronklike opmeting — sit op daardie bladsy.

Plaasnommer: Nr. 169
Distrik: Prince Albert

Hierdie perseel het geen gepaste opmetingspoligoon nie, en kan dus nie op die kaart geteken word nie. Dit is 'n gaping in die kadasterpassing, nie 'n afwesigheid uit die rekord nie.

about this farm Middelwater Nr. 169: 'n plaasgeskiedenis
Van 'n leningsplaas in die Swartberg tot agt kadastrale persele: die gedokumenteerde geskiedenis van Middelwater Nr. 169 - Stretch se opmeting van 1833 vir Okert Oosthuizen, die toekenningsdag van 1841, die heropmeting van 1883 en die kwitrent van 1884 aan J.D.J. Oosthuysen 'and another', die gedeeltes wat afgesny is vir 'n fontein genaamd Vaste Water en 'n plek genaamd Avondrust, en die kraglynopmeting van 1990 waarvan die koördinate die plaas uiteindelik op 'n kaart gesit het.

Navorsingsnotas

Deducted from Middelwater per SG 1459/1883. Klein Vlei is also named as Middelwater's southern neighbour on the 1883 diagram [TO VERIFY which sense]. [29 Jul 2026, verification pass] DOC-0039 (the 1883 verso) lists NO Klein Vlei deduction from farm 169 (only 169/1 "part marked pink", 169/5 Vaste Water, 169/6 Avondrust), and the 1989 servitude map shows no Klein Vlei Gedeelte. The 1883 diagram's southern NEIGHBOUR sense is supported instead: the modern cadastre has farm No.182 "KLEIN VALIE" (6,297 ha) directly south-west of Middelwater. This parcel may not be a Middelwater portion at all - decision pending.

[1 Aug 2026] PORTION NUMBER DELIBERATELY LEFT BLANK. checks.py asks for one, and it cannot be supplied honestly: the cadastre names every portion of this farm identically, so the polygons cannot be told apart by name and there is no diagram here that says which portion this is. Guessing a number to satisfy a check would be exactly the invented precision 3 forbids. [TO VERIFY] from the farm's deduction table or the CSG diagram index.

[8 Aug 2026] THE 1883 FACE DECIDES IT: KLEIN VLEI IS A NEIGHBOUR, NOT A PORTION OF MIDDLEWATER. DOC-0001's bounded-by line reads "Bounded North by Remhoogte, South by Klein Vlei, East by Rondable & Klaarstroom, West by Remhoogte & Venterskloof" - Klein Vlei stands in a list of four neighbouring farms and in no other role on the sheet. The verso's deduction table has now been read in full and Klein Vlei is not in it; the entry that was mistaken for it is "the part marked pink", 169/1, survey record 1437/1883. The 1833 sheet (DOC-0038) names the same neighbour "Klein Valle" and puts it WEST where 1883 puts it SOUTH, which is what two hands make of a farm lying to the south-west; the modern cadastre's farm No. 182 "KLEIN VALIE" sits exactly there. So this parcel row is a Middelwater portion that never existed, and the blank portion number was blank because there was nothing to put in it. PENDING: merge this row into a neighbour row for Klein Valie No. 182, or retire it. Not done here because retiring a parcel touches ownership, neighbour and story links, and that is its own pass.

Wat die rekord kortkom

Nobody is on record as ever having held this third order · B8 never-held
Klein Vlei (Middelwater portion) is in the model, and carries no ownership record of any kind, not a grant, not a transfer, not an occupation.

What would settle it The Surveyor-General's diagram for the farm number names the grantee and the date; the deed reference on it opens the transfer chain.

Found by breaks.py reading the model against itself, not written by hand, each one is a shape of missing record, not a fault in the data. The whole set is on the questions page.
