DE WET GETS ANGRY.
Johannesburg, November 28. During the fighting at Mushroom Valley, a uniformed man rode up to Commander Brand and pointed to Botha’s commando, whom he declared were rebels. One of Brand’s men recognised the stranger as Vauniekirk, a rebel leader, whereupon the Loyalists shot him dead. When at Winberg, De Wet, in a temper, knocked shop assistants about becausfe they had no petrol. A brother rebel prevented him from burning the store. De Wet desperately assaulted the Mayor, accusing him of killing his son Daniel.
