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.

Stories
- mentions this farm
Die Prins Albert-goudstormloop
'n Erdvark krap in 1871 'n goudklont op Spreeuwfontein uit; twintig jaar later tel 'n skaapwagter 'n tweede een op en vyfhonderd mense daag op. Uit 1 042 kleims kom 504 ons. Die delwersdorpie het Gatsplaas geheet, na daardie eerste gat.

Die kerkie op Zeekoegat
Drie geslagte Oosthuizens in die Zwartberg-gemeente, en die welgestelde boer wat op sy eie grond, 65 km ver op die grondpad, vir honderd mense 'n kerkie gebou het.

Gesny, en toe weer aanmekaargewerk
Hierdie projek het 124 grensdade op rekord: 96 onderverdelings en 20 konsolidasies. Gesorteer op datum vertel hulle een storie met 'n draaipunt. Die distrik het honderd-en-vyftig jaar lank net gesny; van 1970 af word net weer aanmekaargewerk.

Ses grafte op Botterkraal
Daar is 'n plaaskerkhof op Botterkraal met ses begrafnisse daarin, van 1927 tot 1942. Dit is vyftien jaar, en dit is alles wat met hierdie familie gebeur het, op een omheinde stukkie grond.
- mentions this farm
Die oorlog bereik die Koup
The Anglo-Boer War came to these farms twice: up the road from Klaarstroom on 2 February 1901, when a running fight through Die Gang left a Boer of Scheepers's commando dead on Remhoogte; and quietly in 1903, when a woman from Tulbagh married into a Prince Albert family having buried two brothers in Natal thirty-four days apart - two brothers Deneys Reitz very probably names in Commando.

Navorsingsnotas
[SRC-072] On the dirt road between Prince Albert and Zeekoegat - in the 1920s and 30s the main road to Willowmore. Bought 23 Jan 1919 out of the estate of the late B.J.L. du PlessisM and three others by "Swanepoel en Swanepoel" (two cousins). Sold 6 Jun 1943 to J.J.A. Minie, the family broken by drought, the Depression and three deaths. THE MINERAL RIGHTS WERE HELD BACK on the strength of the gold found on Spreeufontein - see STO-0002. Farm cemetery of 8 recognisable graves. In 2002 part of Johan Senekal's "Die Meule" farming operation.
[3 Aug 2026, SRC-215] ITS DIAGRAM AND ITS DEED, at last. The 2016 plan for Farm 237 cites this parcel as "Remainder Portion 2 (BOTER KRAAL) of the farm Jansen'skraal No. 104, vide S.G. Diagram No. 1319/1896 annexed to Deed of Transfer No. 1896-6578". Neither number was held here. It also names a sibling this model does not carry - Portion 3, BOTERKRAAL OOST, diagram 13/1920, deed 1920-9891 - so Botterkraal is a pair, west and east, cut twenty-four years apart. Both were consolidated into FARM 237 (PAR-000146) in 2016. [TO VERIFY against the 1896 diagram, which is not held]
*** [4 Aug 2026, LEAD-0084 RESOLVED] THE MATCHER WAS NEVER AT FAULT. *** The polygon for this parcel carries WSTATUS='H' - SUPERSEDED. match_cadastre.py indexes superseded features by their LPI ONLY and keeps them out of the name and farm-number indexes, so nothing automatic can land on one. That is deliberate and documented in the loader: a superseded polygon is reachable by an explicit PIN and by nothing else, because a pin is somebody saying "I know, use this one". For a history site a superseded shape is often the only correct geometry there is - Modderdrift Portion 4 is the precedent. NOT PINNED. The superseded polygon W052C061000000000104000020 exists, but 3 418 morgen = 2 927,6 ha teen die superseded polygon's 1 653,8 ha - 77% APART. That is not the same piece of ground and no pin may be made on it. Recorded rather than resolved: an unplaced parcel is honest, a wrongly placed one is not, and 5 says a wrong pin is worse than a missing one because a map makes a claim look authoritative. [TO VERIFY]
[SRC-315, 7 Aug 2026] A FARM CEMETERY IS RECORDED ON THIS GROUND BY eGGSA: 'Jansenskraal 104, Botterkraal', Cemetery ID 7132, at -33.103267, 22.398717. Photographs and captions at https://graveswcape.eggsa.org/PRINCE-ALBERT-Rural/0721048%20Botterkraal%20in%20distrik%20Prince%20Albert_Pieter%20Olckers/ - linked, not copied.
[13 Aug 2026] Renamed to the one form this model uses for every portion - the portion's own name, then the parent farm, its number and the portion in brackets - so that a name is legible in a list, a search result and a map popup without the reader having to know which farm number is which. It read "Botterkraal (Jansenskraal Ptn 2)" before. Nothing about the ground changed. || [14 Aug 2026 inbox, SRC-438/DOC-0297 + SRC-439/DOC-0298] ITS DIAGRAM AND ITS WHOLE CHAIN. S.G. dgm 1319/1896, surveyed May 1893 by J.A. Thwaits: 3418 morgen, "that portion of Jansens Kraal called BOTER KRAAL", in the FIELD CORNETCY OF GOUPH. Granted to CHRISTIAN HATTING SENIOR on 15 April 1841, folio 1058 - grant day - then to J.G. Daniel and P.H. du PlessisH on 17 November 1868, then to Pieter H. du Plessis on transfer 6578 of 8 October 1896. Bounded NW Lot A Carolus Poort, NE the Remaining portion of Jansens Kraal, S and SW Klein Sluitel fontein and Groot Tygerberg, E Modder Drift.
TWO PORTIONS CAME OFF IT and are now rows here: PAR-000273 Boter Kraal Oost (Ptn 3, 1732 mg 24 sr, 1920) and PAR-000274 (Ptn 6, 1026.357 ha, 2016).
THE TWO EXTENTS ON THE SHEET DO NOT AGREE: the text says 3418 morgen and the beacons table says 3907 morgen 180 square roods. Recorded as a disagreement, not averaged. [TO VERIFY]

Oop vrae
-
Four portions have a polygon in geo/ that match_cadastre.py still will not pick up
prioriteit 2 · LEAD-0084
Why does the matcher miss PAR-000023, PAR-000058, PAR-000069 and PAR-000144 when their exact PRCL_KEYs are present?
Wat dit sou uitmaak Printing the matcher's computed key beside the cadastre key for one of these four.
-
Which Botterkraal was the mail coach taken on
prioriteit 2 · LEAD-0131
The Boers seized the mail coach and horses at Botterkraal, on the road between Prince Albert Road station and the village. Which Botterkraal, and in what month of 1901?
Wat dit sou uitmaak A dated report naming the farm.
Wat die rekord kortkom
-
“G. Raubenheimer” held ground next door and we have no tenure for them
first order · B4 unheld-owner
A boundary description for Botterkraal (Jansenskraal Nr. 104 Gdlt 2) names G. RaubenheimerM, a surveyor stating on the record that this person held the adjoining ground. No one of that surname holds a single ownership span anywhere in this model.
What would settle it The diagram's own date fixes the window. The quitrent or erfpacht register for that year names the holder of the adjoining place, and an estate inventory will name the farm outright.
-
“Tierberg (T.L. van Eck)” held ground next door and we have no tenure for them
first order · B4 unheld-owner
A boundary description for Botterkraal (Jansenskraal Nr. 104 Gdlt 2) names Tierberg (T.L. van Eck), a surveyor stating on the record that this person held the adjoining ground. No one of that surname holds a single ownership span anywhere in this model.
What would settle it The diagram's own date fixes the window. The quitrent or erfpacht register for that year names the holder of the adjoining place, and an estate inventory will name the farm outright.
-
27 years, and the ground changes hands to nobody we can follow
second order · B1 succession
On Botterkraal (Jansenskraal Nr. 104 Gdlt 2), Christian Hatting SeniorH is the last owner recorded from 1841-04-15, and the next entry is P.H. du PlessisH from 1868-11-17, 27 years later, with no person in common. DOC-0297 records the later arrival but not the 27 years before it.
What would settle it The Deeds Office transfer register for this farm between 1841 and 1868. A transfer names its predecessor in title, so one deed closes the whole gap.
-
23 years, and the ground changes hands to nobody we can follow
second order · B1 succession
On Botterkraal (Jansenskraal Nr. 104 Gdlt 2), P.H. du PlessisH is the last owner recorded from 1896-10-08, and the next entry is Christiaan Hendrik SwanepoelH (b6c5d7e3f7) and Pieter Johannes SwanepoelL (b6c5d7e16f1) from 1919-01-23, 23 years later, with no person in common. DOC-0056 records the later arrival but not the 23 years before it.
What would settle it The Deeds Office transfer register for this farm between 1896 and 1919. A transfer names its predecessor in title, so one deed closes the whole gap.
-
The record stops in 1943 and never resumes
third order · B2 trail-ends
Botterkraal (Jansenskraal Nr. 104 Gdlt 2) was worked as far as 1943-06-06, with Christiaan Hendrik Swanepoel jnrH (b6c5d7e3f7g5) the last owner on record. 83 years follow with nothing. Who held it after that, and is it still one farm?
What would settle it The current title deed traced backwards, each transfer names the one before it, or the Surveyor-General's subdivision diagrams, which are what usually explain a farm going quiet.
-
“Estate late P.J. Swanepoel” held ground next door and we have no tenure for them
third order · B4 unheld-owner
A boundary description for Botterkraal (Jansenskraal Nr. 104 Gdlt 2) names Estate late P.J. Swanepoel, a surveyor stating on the record that this person held the adjoining ground. We do hold Swanepoel tenure elsewhere, but none on this boundary and none at this date.
What would settle it The diagram's own date fixes the window. The quitrent or erfpacht register for that year names the holder of the adjoining place, and an estate inventory will name the farm outright.
