~~~ ALBERTON ~~~

THE Voortrekkers Johan Georg (Org) Meyer and Hester Catharina Elizabeth (néé Mulder) came from Prince Albert with two wagons and made their way to the Transvaal in the early 1840’s.

Org sourced land and selected three farms, namely Klipriviersberg, Elandsfontein and Swartkoppies. The couple chose to live next to the Natal Spruit (today the open land on the corner of Hendrik Potgieter Street and Tenth Avenue, Alberton North).

Org asked another Voortrekker, Jacob Smith, to keep an eye on the farms, while he went back to Prince Albert to sell his farm there. He could not sell the land in the Cape and then decided to abandon it.

On his return, he decided to keep Smit as a neighbor and ceded Klipriviersberg to him.

When their son Johannes Petrus (Jan) Meyer was 13 years old in 1856, the family went back to visit their relatives in the Prince Albert district. During the return journey, Org died and was buried in Colesberg. The responsibility was on Jan’s shoulders to see the family safely back to the Transvaal. It rained heavily and they had to build rafts to pass over the rivers. The cattle had to be protected at night from wild animals and there was no dry wood for them to make fires.

In 1864 Jan Meyer married Christina Salomina Meyer (no relation) and set up house on land next to the Natalspruit, in the area now occupied by Alberton City.

Christina died on 31 July 1870 after the birth of their fourth daughter. She was buried in the farm cemetery that once lay next to the future Voortrekker Road. He re-purchased the farm Klipriviersberg for 500 pounds from Jacob’s Smit’s estate. In 1872 he married the widow Stephina Petronella Botha, born Strydom. The couple moved to Klipriviersberg.

The current farmhouse was erected in 1891 by the builder Kirton, who also built the Dutch Reformed Church in Heidelberg.

Jan Meyer’s widowed mother had remarried Abraham Viljoen. After Viljoen’s death in 1894, the farm Elandsfontein was divided between the Meyer children. Jan Meyer bought the areas now known as New Redruth, Randhart and Raceview. His brother Johan Georg (Org junior) bought the areas now known as Florentia and Verwoerd Park. The part of the farm that later became Alberton North, was given to the five Meyer daughters.

After the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902, the Alberton Estate Syndicate of Germiston approached the Meyer family to buy land to establish a town, close enough to Johannesburg for work but outside the city. The land was sold for 20 000 pounds in 1904 and the new town named Alberton, after General Hennie Alberts, one of the members of the Syndicate.

DID YOU KNOW?

Although Alberton was established in 1904, it was only proclaimed a township in 1909.

Alberton boasts the only family cemetery within a traffic circle in South Africa.

A boy by the name of Johannes Petrus Meyer bought 11 hectares of his father’s farm Elandsfontein at the age of 13. He built his house next to the Alberton spruit. When his wife died in, he decided to start a general store and built his farmhouse residence in 1890, which was miraculously left unharmed during the Anglo Boer War, and still stands today. Jan's brother took over the farm after his death. General Hennie Alberts purchased a portion of the farm Elandsfontein, and he decided on the name of Alberton.

The school Jan Meyer was named after the original farm owner. The affluent suburb of Meyersdal also refers to the family whose first farmhouse still stands today. Hennie Alberts Avenue in the suburb of Brackenhurst as well as the primary school Generaal Alberts is named after the town founder. The first official post office was opened in 1926. Street names in the Alberton North suburb were also renamed after Voortrekker heroes in 1938 to coincide with the 100 year commemoration of the Great Trek.

Development sprawled out into adjacent areas over the years, and today Alberton consists of 18 suburbs. Alberante, Verwoerdpark, Albertsdal, Alrode, Brackendowns, Brackenhurst, New Redruth, Eden Park, Florentia, Mayberry Park, Albermarle, Meyersdal, Alberton North, Palm Ridge, General Alberts Park, Randhart, Raceview, South Crest, Thokoza.

Alrode is Alberton's industrial suburb. Alrode, which is Alberton's industrial suburb, was established in 1943. One of the most notable industries to be established in the town during this time was CJ Fuchs (Pty) Ltd. Venturing into the production of domestic electrical appliances under licence from the American company Westing House Electric International, the business was relocated from central Johnnesburg to a newly-built, modern factory in Alrode in 1948. Until the mid-seventies, CJ Fuchs (Pty) Ltd would continue to grow into a multi-million Rand operation, employing thousands of people in several subsidiary companies within the group. After Carl Fuchs' death in April 1976, the company was sold to the then Barlow Rand. In 1973, he was also the first to be admitted as a Freeman of the Town of Alberton.

The construction of the Alberton Boulevard was a major development started in the late 1980s with the aim of converting a section of Voortrekker Road that runs past the Alberton City Shopping Mall into a pedestrian-friendly zone.

There are many well-established sports facilities and clubs for tennis, rugby, road running, boxing, wrestling, cricket, jukskei, netball, hockey, soccer, bowls, korfball and ring tennis in Alberton.

It is also home to the Reading Country Club and Golf Course.

Alberton was also home to the now defunct New Market Race Course, which is now a shopping mall.

Notable residents (past and present)

• Japie Mulder (Springbok rugby player)

• Arnold Vosloo (Actor)

• Carl Niehaus (Politician)

• Andrew Hall (Protea cricketer)

• André Pretorius (Springbok rugby player)

• Bernadette Coston (Protea and Olympian hockey player )

• Malcolm Marx (Springbok rugby player)

Alberton borders on the Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve, located on Peggy Vera Road, Kibler Park, Gauteng. This reserve is home to many wild animals, including zebra, red hartebeest, porcupines, black wildebeest, otters, blesbok, springbok, duiker and 170 bird species.

There are also Iron Age settlements dating from about 1500 and the ruins of a house built in 1850 by voortrekkerSarel Marais.

Meyersdal Mondays 🦒✨👷🏾‍♀️ I spent a lot of time this weekend thinking about Good Bones: 🏗️ in buildings with solid structures 🏗️ @maggiesmithpoet’s poem 🏗️ and Maren Morris’ song Here’s hoping we rest on a solid foundation. And that we are built to withstand what the week and month might have in store for us. It truly does feel like we are in the home stretch of the high times. “We built this right, so nothing's ever gonna move it. When the bones are good, the rest don't matter. I know any storm we're facing will blow right over while we stay put. The house don't fall when the bones are good.”- @marenmorris Jewellery: @nomihandmade #TasteLetsSee #MeyersdalMoments #MolisanaRealEstate #NomiHandmade (at Meyersdal Eco Estate) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqkDd8Cqlc6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
