JOHANNESBURG. Last year he was placed on history's garbage dump, but then he was brought back and reinstated through a court decision.
Now it seems as the legendary South African Voortrekker general Louis Trichardt, who's Swedish ancestor's name was Trädgårdh and whom the Limpopo town was called after, will finally be laid to rest.
And the point is? Well, that the Trichardt's and their offsprings is one
family among tens of thousands of Scandinavian offsprings in Southern
Africa, which is evident from the many families with Scandinavian names,
e.g. the Forssman's, Letterstedt's, Ohlsson's, Johnson's, Andersson's,
Eriksson's and the Lindberg's. In what's today's Namibia.
Many of them played prominent roles in setting up new communities -
Louis Trichardt in South Africa and Omaruru in Namibia - and starting
companies that have become prominent in the region and even the world,
such as South African Breweries, I & J, CAN and Group Five.
