Theunis Botha Theunis Botha], b bef 15 April 1686. Called Botha after his mother, Maria Kickers' , 1700 divorce from Jan Cornelisz (who is shown as his father on the birth certificate). At which time she said her 7 children were Frederich Botha's. However, a recent DNA study by the University of Pretoria reveal him to have been the biological son of Ferdinandus Appel.'

He was not married to Maria Kickers, but fathered one of her children, namely Theunis Botha, and therefore had Maria not married Friedrich Botha who (through association and marriage) adopted Theunis, the following ancestors, namely Gen Louis Botha and P.W. Botha, should have had the surname Appel.
