Synopsis
Excerpt from The Capture of De Wet: The South African Rebellion, 1914
In the following pages such evidence as it has been possible for the writer to collect will be found with regard to the men and the movement, from which it will be seen that they were prompted to their action by the strangest compound of racialism, superstition, religion, and, brain-storm. The im placable racialism of Beyers thrusts itself forward in every line of his remarkable letter to General Smuts, when tendering his resignation. Yet Beyers was an intensely religious man, and he could, and did, find it possible to square his action in going into rebellion with the tenets of Holy Scripture. And in this he was sustained by several ministers of religion, who found it not incompatible with their holy calling to take the field with the rebels and aid them in their desperate enterprise. Beyers, it may be added, was inordinately vain of his personal appearance, and suffered from the complaint to the learned known as megalomania, and to the man in the street by a more expressive term.
