Field cornet Pieter Lodewyk Bezuidenhout of Mooi River ward, Potchefstroom, ca 1880

Summary

[edit]
Description
Afrikaans: Veldkornet Pieter Lodewyk Bezuidenhout (8 Augustus 1837 – 23/25 Januarie 1905), bynaam "Piet Bontperde", was 'n inwoner van Mooirivierwyk, noord van Potchefstroom, Transvaal, tydens die laat 19de eeu. Toe daar op Bezuidenhout se bokwa beslag gelê is weens sy weiering om die belasting volledig te betaal, het sy volksgenote hom bygestaan ​​om dit met geweld van die owerheid terug te neem. Bezuidenhout was toe reeds voor die hof gebring omdat hy versuim het om belasting op sy plaas te betaal, die wabelasting dus sy tweede oortreding. Dit was die begin van die eskalerende reeks gebeure wat op die Eerste Boereoorlog sou uitloop.
  Bezuidenhout is in George, huidige Wes-Kaap, gedoop en is in Potchefstroom, in huidige Noordwes, oorlede. Sy grafsteen is in die nuwe begraafplaas, ná 1900 gevestig, en sy kopsteen aldaar verskaf 'n onakkurate geboortejaar, "1833". Bezuidenhout was met Emmerentia Frederika Elizabeth Terblanche getroud, maar was reeds 'n wewenaar toe die Tweede Vryheidsoorlog uitbreek. Die Engelse het hom vir die oorlog in sy dogter se huis in Potchefstroom ingeperk. Bezuidenhout se ma is blykbaar vroeg oorlede. Sy pa "Swart Piet" en sy tweede vrou het voortrekkers geword wat omstreeks 1839 die binneland ingetrek het. Swart Piet het in 1848 die plaas De Oude Dorp / Kolonieplaas in die wyk Mooirivier gekoop, waar sy graf herontdek is. Die gesin was nie nou verwant aan die Bezuidenhouts van die berugte Slachtersnek-rebellie van 1815 nie.[1]
English: Field cornet Pieter Lodewyk Bezuidenhout (8 August 1837 – 23/25 January 1905), nicknamed "Piet Bontperde", was a resident of Mooi River ward, north of Potchefstroom, Transvaal, during the late 19th century. When Bezuidenhout's wagon was confiscated due to his refusal to pay all its applicable taxes, his fellow countrymen assisted him in retaking it by force from the authorities. Bezuidenhout had already been summoned to court for failing to pay tax on his farm, the wagon tax being his second impasse. This was the first in an escalating series of events that would culminate in the First Boer War.
  Bezuidenhout was baptized in George, current Western Cape, and died in Potchefstroom, in current North West. His grave is to be seen in the new cemetery, established after 1900, and his head stone supplies an inaccurate birth year, "1833". Bezuidenhout married Emmerentia Frederika Elizabeth Terblanche, but was a widower by the time the Second Boer War broke out. The English confined him to his daughter's house in Potchefstroom during the war. Bezuidenhout's mother apparently died early. His father "Swart Piet" and his second wife became voortrekkers who moved inland around 1839. Swart Piet bought the farm De Oude Dorp / Kolonieplaas in the Mooi River ward in 1848, where his grave has been rediscovered. They were not closely related to the Bezuidenhouts of the infamous Slachtersnek Rebellion of 1815.[1]
