About Schalk Willem van der Merwe
The Whites of Enkeldoorn 1880-1980 is a history of the families of European descent who settled in the area of Enkeldoorn (renamed Chivi) Rhodesia (Zimbabwe). Author - Sarel van der Walt.
VAN DER MERWE Schalk and Anna settled on Opel farm, producing cattle. They churned cream into butter which was then rendered down into a long-life product taken to Salisbury by pick-up where it found a ready market with the buyers competing to be first to be served. Opel was away from the river, partly on Manesi hill, it was very dry and a deep borehole was unsuccessful, water was however obtained in a well. After Schalk's death Anna stayed on the farm for a while and worked in the Featherstone Post Office doing secretarial work. She cycled to and from work. She then moved to Enkledoorn where she again worked in the Post Office till she retired. Anna taught Elizabeth and Lodewyk by correspondence school to standard 5, they then attended Liebenberg school as boarders.
