Meintjies. As previous discussed and proven by Keith Meintjies the researcher and historian on Meitjies in SA mentioned there that Johan Pottas, same as Keith, untagled the mix-up. This is Meintjies as it is known in SA and on his DN(MOOC) as well as TANAP Jan Hendrik Meintjies. Hope it helps Sharon.
Also see the Oorsig- sorry, my PC is Afrikaans. ☺
