Hoewel die vroegste pioniers reeds in 1750 hierdie streek bereik het, is die gemeente Oudtshoorn eers op 11 Oktober 1853 gestig. Tot 1798, toe die gemeente Swellendam gestig is, het die mense in hierdie streek onder die gemeente Tulbagh geval, maar met die stigting van die gemeente Swellendam is die kerk ietwat nader gebring.

Toe die gemeente George in 1812 gestig is, het die kerklike beskawingsinvloed met hierdie stap veel nader gekom en was dit nie vir die byna onoorkomelike Outeniquaberge nie, sou Oudtshoorn byna onmiddellik binne bereik van die kerklike voorregte geplaas gewees het. Vanaf hierdie tyd het Oudtshoorn onder George geval en is daar vir die eerste keer ’n kerkraadslid vir hierdie wyk gekies. Ds. T.J. Herold van George was dan ook die eerste leraar wat hierdie streek bearbei het.

Namate die bevolking gegroei het, het die behoefte aan ’n eie kerkgebou groter geword en is die eerste Godshuis aan die onderpunt van die teenswoordige Georgeweg ingewy. Tot 1845 is die gemeente Oudtshoorn deur die leraars van George bearbei, eers ds. Herold en later ds. Johan Ballot. In daardie jaar is die gemeente Mosselbaai gestig en is ’n groot deel van Oudtshoorn, om die een of ander onverklaarbare rede, kerklik sowel as siviel onder Mosselbaai geplaas.

Hierdie afskeiding het ’n hewige stryd laat ontbrand, nie alleen tussen die gemeentes van George en Mosselbaai nie, maar ook by die inwoners van Oudtshoorn wat nie graag van George afgesny wou wees nie. Die regstreekse uitvloeisel daarvan was die afstigting van die gemeente Oudtshoorn op 11 Oktober 1853. Weens finansiële moeilikhede is die eerste leraar, ds. Van der Riet, eers op 3 Mei 1857 bevestig. (https://www.gemeentegeskiedenis.co.za/ng-gemeente-oudtshoorn/)

Anglo Boere-oorlog:

Pieter Jacobus kom op 11 Januarie 1901 by die Brandfort Konsentrasiekamp aan.

The Brandfort camp had certainly been formed by the end of January 1901, when it was reported that there were about two hundred people living there, mainly from Bultfontein and Hoopstad. At this stage many of the Boer families were scattered through the town or living in wagons, rather than in tents. Some of the people living in the town were able to support themselves and the British authorities were reluctant to supply them with rations. Nor did the British want to force them into the camps. By August 1901, when Dr Kendal Franks visited the camp, everyone had been moved into tents. (https://www2.lib.uct.ac.za/mss/bccd/Histories/Brandfort/)

From the first, the medical officer was concerned about health in the camp. A number of small children were suffering from diarrhoea, although there had been no fatalities. Women and children slept on the ground with little protection and the doctor was concerned that they would suffer from pulmonary diseases in the wet weather. He urged the erection of corrugated iron huts with wooden floors or the provision of mattresses at the very least. Blankets would be provided only where absolutely necessary, along with mattress ticking. The women must make their own bedding with 15 lbs of hay allowed them, the MO was informed. Fortunately at this stage the inmates still had the cattle which they had brought into camp with them and milk was freely available for the children. Later on, however, grazing deteriorated and the refugee stock was sold to the ORC administration and removed to farms nearer to Bloemfontein. (https://www2.lib.uct.ac.za/mss/bccd/Histories/Brandfort/)

By the end of March 1901 numbers in the white camp were mounting and, as in other camps, people arrived without warning and tents were in short supply. Health declined and typhoid was prevalent. Hospital accommodation was inadequate and the wagons and tents were overcrowded. The new arrivals were often in a desperate state. Some had been in a Boer laager in the Hoopstad district for some months; the children were clad only in sheep skins and hides and they had been on very short rations. Come they did – 3 000 arrived on 9 August 1901, in a bad state of health, with only 25 tents to accommodate them. Many of the new arrivals suffered from trachoma, an eye disease caused by flies and fairly common amongst the Dutch, the MO reported. One source of disease, Dr Kendal Franks was convinced, was the insanitary condition of the nearby town of Brandfort, which he considered was primitive. Much of the drinking and cooking water came from open sluits [furrows]; excrement was emptied into cesspools close to the water wells; cattle roamed the town and slaughtering of cattle took place there as well. Measles and diphtheria broke out there before the camps. In an attempt to isolate the camp, the inmates were prevented from going into town but, since the military commandant continued to issue passes, some contact was inevitable. Worse still, the military authorities sent about a hundred people from the town to the camp. Diphtheria spread to the camp by the middle of August although, fortunately, it was the one disease for which there was an effective drug therapy, known as an anti-toxin, which was provided. Measles soon followed. Once the measles epidemic started, there was the problem of hospital accommodation for the sick. Brandfort was a camp with a particularly high mortality rate, peaking in October 1901 and coinciding with the diphtheria epidemic, brought in by a group of people ‘in very poor condition from continual trekking’. The measles epidemic spread so rapidly that attempts at isolation broke down and there were so many cases that the hospital could not house them all. Worse still, the disease was so severe that almost every case developed broncho-pneumonia ‘with very fatal results’. (https://www2.lib.uct.ac.za/mss/bccd/Histories/Brandfort/)

The water supply was a constant struggle. Camp washing took place above the dam which supplied the town’s water, to which the municipality understandably objected. Since the town was so dirty, the camp authorities were not very sympathetic but they agreed to sink more boreholes. By February 1902, when camp management had become more sophisticated, conditions had improved. (https://www2.lib.uct.ac.za/mss/bccd/Histories/Brandfort/)

Pratt Yule duly arrived. He was reasonably satisfied with the general condition of the camp. Some of the tents were worn but the latrines, now built of brick, were ‘beautifully clean’ and the water supply was good. But the hospital was a different story. By December 1901, George Randle, sent in a long report on the condition of Brandfort camp. The place, he felt, was untidy. Brandfort was the last of the ORC camps to be closed. An orphanage was established there to provide for the many children who had lost their parents during the war and had no relatives to care for them. The camp authorities tried to see that such children were looked after properly. The orphaned children were not the only people to remain in Brandfort camp.

Op 29 Julie 1902 is hy oorgeplaas na die Kroonstad Konsentrasiekamp.
