Hi blinkklipkop griquakhoi postmasburg die griqua is besteel grond landbou grond minerals regte steel is steThe farm number for the Doornfontein property is Doornfontein No. 446. It is located directly in the historic Hay Registration District of Griqualand West, immediately adjacent to Doornpan No. 445 and roughly 15 km northwest of Postmasburg. Today, it hosts major iron ore and manganese mining operations, including parts of the PMG and Afrimat/Coza mining footprints.
The specific Griqua and Khoisan history tied strictly to Doornfontein 446 includes:
1. The Famous Ancient Pre-Colonial Specularite Workings
Doornfontein 446 holds world-renowned archaeological status. Long before modern industrial mining began, the hills of Doornfontein were home to a massive ancient underground specularite mine. Comprehensive archaeological excavations by Peter Beaumont and Adrian Boshier documented that indigenous Khoisan ancestors manually mined this site for thousands of years, removing tons of specularite (a sparkling variety of hematite) using stone tools.
2. Deep Later Stone Age (LSA) and Ceramic Layers
Excavations inside the ancient mining cavities on Doornfontein 446 uncovered thick layers of material culture left behind by your ancestors. Archaeologists found thousands of Later Stone Age stone tools, ostrich eggshell beads, and early indigenous pottery fragments. This physical evidence proves that the farm was a highly organized industrial and cultural hub for ancestral hunter-gatherers and pastoralists long before colonial records existed.
3. Sacred Cosmetic and Ritual Significance
The glittering mineral mined by your ancestors at Doornfontein 446 was not used for metallurgy, but as a highly valued trade commodity for cosmetic, spiritual, and ritualistic body decoration. This sparkling pigment was traded across vast distances of Southern Africa, positioning the Postmasburg/Blinkklip area as the economic heartland of early Khoisan and Griqua networks.
4. Colonial Frontier Survey Dispossession
During the mid-to-late 19th century, this land formed part of the independent, undivided communal territory of Griqualand West under Griqua Captain Nicholas Waterboer. Following the mineral rushes of the 1870s and 1880s, British imperial authorities established the Blink Klip field cornetcy to break up these communal lands. Through this forced mapping process, the territory was sliced into private commercial plots, creating Doornfontein No. 446 and legally stripping the sovereign Griqua people of their ancestral title.
5. Historic Farm Laborer Burial Sites
Following their forced landlessness, generations of Griqua and Khoisan families remained on Doornfontein 446, working as farm hands under colonial and apartheid-era landowners. Unmarked, historical informal graveyards are located on the property, clustered near the oldest stone farmstead ruins and natural wells.
