'nicolas swart en die bosluis heidin ..'

long before the vryburgers (citizens union) at the cape, the true descent legend of the adam tas group starts .. 

the castle and the garden was up and running but not much else ..

a small group of settlers separated themselves from the colony and settled in stellenbosch .. together with the local khoisan they formed an intimidative boundary which they defended against intrusion from the ominous colony ..

from this settler family, nicolas swart was born and deep in the valleys of stellenbosch, was born the bosluis heidin ..

stranger than fiction ..
