| | Daniël Francois Malherbe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) |
 | | He was born on 28 May 1881 in Dal Josafat in the Cape Colony, to P. Malherbe, a founder of the Genootskap vir Regte Afrikaners (Society for Real Afrikaners). |
 | | He did not strive to portray his characters realistically in their immediate environment, but rather communicated his philosophy and ideals, which were largely rooted in his intense sympathy for the Afrikaner nation in their battle for nationhood. |
 | | In Vir Vryheid (For Freedom), published in 1919, he denotes ideal freedom by referring to the Great Trek, but his most successful poem is Die timmerman (The handyman), written in 1921. |
