I learn, somewhat to my astonishment, that JFJ van Rensburg, leader of the pro-Nazi Ossewabrandwag (0B) in South Africa during WWII, was a Rhodes Scholar .. & that his close friend & aide Steve Hofmeyr (d.1944), who was a Stormjaer & had married a granddaughter of Gen Louis Botha, was also an Oxonian & had, indeed, captained the XV! Unusual CVs for men of their political persuasions, no? By way of a sidebar, this Hofmeyr was the grandfather of that Steve who claims to be a singer & who more famously recently lost a court action against a puppeteer! Merry Christmas, gentlemen!
