Hendrik Jakobus Daniel Smit was born on 30.11.1860. He was a Boer who trekked with a small group of followers in the 1890s from Piketberg, South Africa, to Namibia. He bought the farm Horanaub (later called Swartmodder) from Hendrik Witbooi on 27.11.1899. He had a high standing in the local Boer community and was also apparently on a good footing with Hendrik Witbooi, who allegedly warned him of the Nama uprising in 1904. Nevertheless Smit was killed with several other Boers at Swartmodder by Witbooi-Nama on 10.10.1904.

Dit is wonderlik om te sien hoe ons voorouers betrokke was by die opbou van ons land. Interessant, hierdie Hendrik Smit is familie van my, maar van moederskant waar ook Vissers voorgekom het.
