Maritz | Saloman Gerhardus | | General | He was born in 1876. During the Boer War he fought in Natal and served under General de Wet in his raids into the Cape Colony in 1900. He was promoted to commandant. Towards the end of the war he was fighting in the north west Cape and capturing the town of Springbok in 1902. After the war he went to Madagascar and Europe, and did not return until after 1910. When the Union Defence Force was established in 1912 he was granted a commission, and stationed as District Staff Officer near Upington. He refused in 1914 to take part in the campaign against German south west Africa and, instead, started a rebellion. He joined forced with the Germans. When the Union forces under General Botha, took south west Africa, he crossed the border to Angola and later travelled to Portugal and Spain. He remained in Europe until 1923 when he returned and was tried as a rebel. He was found guilty in 1924 but was freed with the help of General Hertzog. He farmed for a while and then started his own pro-fascist movement in the 1930s. He was killed in a car accident near Pretoria. Deneys Reitz described him as "cruel and illiterate". Maritz was responsible for some of the worst atrocities against Africans during the war. | Boer Forces |
