Gerhardus Cornelis "Gert" Oosthuizen

Langlaagte was originally a farm of 2260 morgen, partitioned between the

first owners being Hendrik Alberts and Anna Elizabeth Oosthuizen.

It later came to be sub-divided into four parcels owned as to - Portion A:

Andries Lucas Breedt, Portion B: Anna Elizabeth de Beer Mulder (formerly

Oosthuizen), Portion C: Gerhardus Cornelis Oosthuizen and Portion D:

Petronella Francina Oosthuizen & John Hendrik Oosthuizen. All these Portions

of land, and many further sub-divisions thereof, became subject to a flurry

of prospecting activity from February 1886. Prospectors, granted mining

licences in respect of their prospectors claims, were quick to sell when

they could double their money. Thus the farm and ownership of the mineral

rights changed hands many times before it began to become the latter day

mining company that was to be known as Langlaagte Estates and Gold Mining

Company Ltd. This is the company that was sold by J.B. Robinson in 1915 to

Solly Joel acting on behalf of The Johannesburg Consolidated Investment Co.

Ltd. (JCI).
