Special Report Transcript Episode 75, Section 3, Time 17:54My great, great grandfather came to South Africa with the French Huguenots in 1688. My grandfather fought in the Anglo Boer War and ended up in India as a prisoner of war. My father landed up in Koffiefontein in the Second World War where he was held without trial, he was interned by Jan Smuts, who, when we were little, we saw as England’s agent. I was born while he was in the camp. I was four months old when he came out. My mother and I were alone during that time and immediately we left for the Transvaal. I went to Pretoria University, practiced as a lawyer in Johannesburg for about 11 years and then landed up in politics. Notes: Wynand Malan References: there are no references for this transcript |
