General Notes: The Old Lady 16th March 1996

My tribute is as one who came into the family 49 years ago, half her lifetime.
Mattie to her friends, to her family Mum, to her grandchildren and great grandchildren Granny or Ouma.. To Derek she was always " The old lady ''. She was the old lady at 38! Mom was born before the turn of the century and as a 22 year old I was fascinated at the stories she had to tell of Africa, as it was when she was a young woman. She was born into a world where people travelled in ox wagons, where candles were homemade from the fat of donkeys, a kitchen that was several yards away from the house with cooking done on a wood stove, water a precious commodity that must never be wasted. Food had to be grown or raised or shot with a hunting rifle. She came from Afrikaans stock and grew up with that language but was taught by an English governess, so that her English was impeccable frequently better than that of those for whom it was their natural tongue. She had many friends English and Afrikaans, a few like myself were Scots. There was never a barrier for her of nationality, what you were was important.
She was brought up in the Afrikaanse tradition of hard work, at five years old she told me she had to get up at four in the morning and with her sister run through the dark and often the cold to light the aforementioned stove and make coffee for the family which had to start early. From this she maintained children should be allowed to be children. Her standards for herself and others were high, honest in all things, half measures not good enough, nothing but the best.
She was hospitable in the extreme, no one but no one ever came to the door and was not welcomed with a cup of coffee, a meal, or a bed for the night if needed. I have seen a visitor arriving at dinnertime and being invited to dinner after the plates were served up. Mom would quickly take a little from each plate, open a tin of baked beans and serve them out taking the plate of scratched together pieces for herself and the visitor none the wiser. Her house was home to anyone who needed it, she became a mother to her two younger sisters when they were not able to live at home, relatives on both sides of the family came and lived with her and Dad, nephews and nieces, cousins etc all were made welcome. She loved company, she loved people. Most of all she loved children, she once remarked that she never had a garden because what the dog failed to damage the boys dug up. Derek and his cousins, dug pits and made tunnels; under the neighbours garden of all things till the poor mans veges disappeared down a hole. In Lobatsi in the then Bechuanaland, these same lads caught playing with the precious water took to their heels and an irate mother unable to catch them stopped and threw her high heeled shoe, catching her son fair and square right in the middle of his back. as he continued on he was heard to say somewhat admiringly " The old lady can still throw straight eh''.
Mom was interested in everything, she read extensively with a constant flow of books thorough the flat and kept abreast of affairs she was always interested in discussing national and international situations and had her own opinions, there were many excited and stimulating discussions conducted on the end of her bed after we returned from a visit to the bioscope (cinema to the uninitiated). This was the time when I heard most of the tales of her early life so different to those of us from the European part of the world.
It was the interest she maintained in the outside world her whole life that gave her the ability to transcend the cultural and racial barriers she faced when she married an English speaking South African. She faced real hostility from some members of her own family although her father and husband had an amicable relationship. As a toddler she was incarcerated as part of a Boer family in an English concentration camp, during the second world war she worked in munitions and in the canteens for the armed forces for the British She survived the situations that arose in her life and tried to pass on the wisdom of that learning I owe a great deal to those times when I was setting out on my own life and she took the time to talk and share many of those things that were important then.
I wish her God speed in this final adventure of life that is death. --Maggie

The family farm was called "Grassmead" in Niekerks Hope, Priska, South Africa

Those of you about my age will have your own stories of the Second World War from very different parts of the world. None of it was pleasant. On Friday night at 9.35 T.V.1 there is the 3rd part of a programme about the air warfare over Britain in 1940. I was a fifteen year old at school and studying for my matriculation examination, living in a village St Mary Cray in Kent. Most of what you may see in this programme would have been played out over my home. I went to school and frequently spent some time during each day in the air raid shelters trying to keep up the studies. When the holidays started we were at home of course and often caught out fetching messages from the shops etc as the sirens went. I lived close to Biggin Hill an aerodrome very involved in this part of the war and watched the dogfights and the planes shot down overhead. Some of those shots I remember very well and have seen them previously in news clips both then and more recently. A year later I was going to dances at "The Daylight Inn" an English pub only a short walk from where I lived and very popular with the airmen from Biggin Hill and no doubt had a dance or two with some of them, they were very young, very excited over their battles in the air and it was very sad when we missed them at the dances but were a bit afraid to ask.

My bit of the war with very mixed feelings. ----Best Wishes Maggie----

Girls can do anything

In 1941 after obtaining Matriculation I was given the opportunity to go to Northampton Engineering College in London. There were five girls from different schools in the London area and 25 boys in the course. We were all approximately the same age and the girls about my own educational standard or maybe better. The course we took was for a few months and carried a diploma. It was a crash course and designed to bring students up to speed for work in design and application in various wartime projects. For every exam or test we were given, we the girls were invariably in the top ten. Subjects were mathematics (calculus level), applied maths, electronics, several classes on the more practical subjects such as soldering and welding, commonly taught in boys schools. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the time there and was very happy when the diploma arrived and I was offered work in a factory involved in the research and wartime production. The factory was in Hayes in Middlesex and part of the old EMI previously making gramophone records (the old vinyl type). I worked for some time on the first klystrons which were being developed for what was then called 'radio location' renamed later by the Americans as Radar. Towards the end of the year I returned home and then obtained employment with a local factory Kolstser Brandes in the Advance Development Dept. (A.D.D.) Until D day on 6th June I worked on the development of a pulse-modulated transmitter/receiver which was being produced for the invasion of Germany. My work ended when the equipment was installed in a van with a great deal of work completed by the engineers in A.D.D. There were about thirty in total in the dept. all men with some of them working in other parts of the factory but on part of the production of this equipment. Several days before D day a corporal from the Canadian Airforce was allocated to take over the van and help with the last installations in company with the engineer who was my boss. He came and worked alongside me in the Lab. as I finalised the wiring of the last few chassis. He drove the van away and that was the last I heard of it! The rest as they say is history. The war ended and I found myself with a new boss who was not (apparently) keen on having a woman working in this all male department and I was very gently and kindly persuaded to take other work as a librarian. My interest in this waned and I moved to registry work at BOAC. Then decided to go to South Africa. with the help of one of our engineers from K.B. whose wife was an old school friend of mine. A few months later I started work in Durban alongside said engineer who got me a job where he was working. Again an all male establishment. Met Derek and stayed there until my first baby arrived. Most of my working life has been in what would normally be regarded as a male occupation. I have never found much resentment with co -workers although some have been puzzled as to why I would want to do it. I must admit I have always liked the work I was employed to do, especially the more practical aspects. Some female friends I suspect have thought me a bit weird, but this never deterred me, I did what I wanted to do. Maggie
