"In 1718 Nooitgedacht was purchased by Johannes Albertus Loubser, who was married to Sibella Passman. After her husband’s death, Sibella married Jacob Cloete, the grandson of Jacob Cloete, who was one of the first free burghers in 1657. Sibella herself was also a notable figure, having bought Weltevreden and Hartenberg. The Cloete-Passman crest can be found in the Moederkerk in Stellenbosch to this day.Jacob and Sibella’s son, Hendrik, inherited the farm in the latter half of the 18th century. He proved to be a very capable farmer, and planted many vineyards. In 1769 he also built the slave bell, and in 1774 the H-form Herehuis. This is the date engraved on the facade. He bought numerous farms and became known as one of the wealthiest individuals in the region. In 1778 he bought Groot Constantia – property of Van der Stel at the time. He then moved here, leaving Nooitgedacht to Johan Gerhard Cloete – one of his eleven sons. "

Sibella Pasman's Portrait is to be seen at Groote Constantia, Western Cape
