Received an "Oudstryders" (Veteran of the Anglo Boer War) Pension[4]
Penkoppe:
Penkoppe or Penkop was an Afrikaans term used for boys under the age of 16, that followed their fathers into the Anglo Boer War. (Johannes Jacobus was only 11 years old when he participated in the war). The term "Penkop" literally means a bull calf that started growing horns. Many lied about their age to be admitted to fight. A boy by the name of Jooste, when confronted as to where he was going, said: Ek gaan Engelse skiet, which means he is going to shoot the English. Some did show extra ordinary bravery. A boy called Kosie Briedenhahn Briedenhann-29 sacrificed his life and saved Commandant J.H Visser's life. Another boy with a pet name Gesiggie, arrived at a Boer encampment with 4 English prisoners under his guard. When asked where he got them, he bravely stated that he surrounded them!![8]
