Piet Joubert Sainted as Boer Commander In History of Ancestry
Piet Joubert, Boer Commander-in-Chief and Transvaal vice president, traces French ancestry to Pierre Joubert of Provence. Records show Pierre and Suzanne Reyne sailed from Brielle in 1668 aboard Mount de Sinai, bound for the Cape, amid Nantes dissent and Edict of Nantes revocation. Pierre emigrated as a Protestant and settled at the Cape, while Petras Joubert, born in Congo in 1834, built wealth as a lawyer and agrarian leader before joining Kruger in London to negotiate with Britain and later commanding Boer forces.
