About Hendrik Jacobus Daniël Smit, SWASV
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.
