His father had been the previous Veld Kornet.of the Onder bokkeveld. George resided on one of his father's farms along the Doorn River. His sister, Regina Barbara was married to Jan Harmse Steenkamp living on the farm Zoutpan, who had a fierce temper and he involved the much younger George in the mess. (George was about the same age as Steenkamps children).It seems that George was attempting to show off in front of his niece whom he later married and exaggerated an order by embellishing on it instead of only reading the content out to Steenkamp. Read the story by Nigel Penn in "Murderers, Miscreants and Mutineers. Page 125. It seems that Steenkamp was banished to New South Wales Australia after being detained on Robben Island. Imprisoning Steenkamp curtailed his breeding program and no more children were born to him and his wife. George was detained for one year only. Does any one have any proof of Steenkamp in Australia
