Abstract
The article in Farmer's Weekly discusses the life and military exploits of General Pieter Hendrik Kritzinger, a Boer general known for his legendary physical strength and leadership during the Anglo-Boer War. Kritzinger led rebel forces in the Cape Colony, engaging in hit-and-ride tactics against British troops and capturing towns and supplies. Despite being captured and facing the death penalty, Kritzinger was ultimately released and went into exile in Mexico before returning to South Africa, where he played a significant role in public life until his death in 1935.
