South AfricaKitty is in 1944 na Stellenbosch Universiteit, waar sy Maatskaplike Werk en Sielkunde gestudeer het. In haar sewentigs het sy op Unisa verder gestudeer, ook in Maatskaplike werk en berading.Kitty wrote two books, 'Sonskyn op my Pad' and "Suid van Tobruk". The latter is a work of fiction, and she told me herself that while the characters are based on the members of her family, there was, in fact, no extra-marital child. Ben Junior was a purely fictional child. The main Characters in 'Suid van Tobruk' are:
Pieter, based on Christiaan Isias Engelbertus Greeff
Ant Miem, Based on Maria Elizabeth Roelofse
Katrien, based on Catharina Greeff, The author
Bennie, based on Stephanus Johannes Greeff
Truida, based on Maria Elizabeth Greeff (x Stopford)
Magriet, based on Margaretha Maria Greeff
Christiaan, based on Hendrik Gabriel (Hennie) Greeff
Poon, based on Paulus Johannes (Paul) Greeff
Bêrend, based on Jacobus Johannes Greeff
Minnie, based on Emmerentia Wilhelmina Greeff
Let, based on Isabella Rosina GreeffAnt Fiena, based on Siena, wife of Fransie RoelofseOom Fransie, based on the brother of Maria Elizabeth Roelofse, Fransie RoelofseThe two eldest Greeff children, Willem Hendrik Gabriel Greeff and Aletta Greeff, do not feature in the book at all since the family in the book consisted of only ten children.Kitty van der Linde told me these things herself, on 5 May 2007. She also tod me that the farm Langvlei was where they actually lived, and that it was where 'Island Lake' is today. The farm was between George and Knysna, and one travelled by train through Wilderness, through Fairy Knowe to 'the siding' (in the book), which was Duiwerivier siding. She could not remember the name of the river that Pieter went to dig open in the book, except that it was not the Duiwerivier.
