About Genl. Manie Maritz
Generaal Salomon Gerhardus (Manie) Maritz se profiel voor op ‘My Lewe en Strewe’, hierdie rare boek, het dadelik my oog gevang en my verbeelding aangegryp, want ek meet ‘n man uiterlik aan sy nek. ‘n Man met ‘n gespierde nek lol jy nie mee nie. Generaal Manie Maritz het ‘n nek soos ‘n bul gehad en ‘n kyk. ‘n Oop, reguit en sterke kyk waaruit eerlike geen nonsens, duidelik gestraal het. En dit is wat hy inderdaad was en uitgeleef het.
Gebore op Kimberley 26 Julie 1876. Hy sluit op 24 jarige ouderdom aan by die weerstand teen die Jameson inval en verwerf daardeur sy eerstegraadse Transvaalse Burgerskap. Dit was die begin van ‘n asemrowende krygers verhaal.
Hy sterf op 19 Desember 1940 in ‘n motorongeluk voor die sentrale gevangenis in Pretoria – Dit is wat in die populêre geskiedenis opgeteken staan en wat met die Geregtelike Doodsondersoek bevind is...
