BEKKER Hendrik was a transport rider and by 1890 he was well acquainted with the roads to the North and had contacts in Fort Salisbury. His wife accompanied him on all his trips. In 1891 while in Salisbury lung sickness killed most of his cattle and he started a timber cutting and sawing business on the Hunyani river. With two hundred pounds from the proceeds he bought a wagon and team of oxen. He accepted an offer of a free farm by Rhodes and having for some time, had a desire to settle in a particular area he pegged the farm of his choice. There was a prominent lone camelthorn tree and he called his farm Enkeldoorn. (Singlethorn)

Before taking up the offer he returned to the Transvaal to persuade some friends to move with him to Mashonaland. Only two families, Kotze and Visagie joined him. Circumstances, particularly Malaria caused them to stay together. They became seriuosly ill and returned to Transvaal to recover.

Early in 1893, Bekker and his family were on their way back to Enkeldoorn when, at Fort Victoria they met Mr. Pretorious and his sons who persuaded them to change their plans and instead to try Gazaland. The farm Enkeldoorn was forfeited and some years later taken over by Hendrik Ferreira.

Hendrik x Christina Gertruida Pienaar. Children (did not live in Enkeldoorn). Jacobus Christoffel (Koot), Soon, Joshua, David, Piet, Jan, Pop (?Pap), Marie, Lourens, Krissie, Nellie (Cornelia) .

BEKKER Jozua owned Manese Poort farm (1935) and Mansi. Mrs Alida Bekker and baby Joey were on Sterkstroom when the Mashona attacked the group. (Joey was the baby hidden by a servant girl when the group was attacked.) Jozua and family moved to Umtali leaving Hendrik O'Neill to manage Manzi. Joey inherited the farm and returned to live on and manage the farm till her death. She did not marry. Other children included a daughter x Boonsaaier, (his xx) and son Hendrik x Maria Coetzee 29-3-25 NOTE: Hendrik Bekker is the grandson of the pioneer, Hendrik Bekker and Christina Gertruida Pienaar.
