1938 – 1942
Mrs Buhr died in 1938, the parents of Brother Buhr had already died in the years before. In 1938 the story with the two teachers Moshe Kan and Phillip Mashele already started who wanted to listen neither to the captain nor to the schools inspector and when they were dismissed they started their own schools and withdrew from all supervision. They had their supporters in Bethanie and Johannes Le collected money and appointed the Jewish Attorney Sive in Brits to defend their unfounded matter. They distanced themselves from the congregation, also turned against Brother Buhr, although he was without guilt. They established a park [?] church in the house of Niklas Mackeley and destroyed the big church in June 1939 and caused damage to the amount of ₤ 900!! Johnny the captain was too weak to intervene, he died and Daniël More II (Phiriafeta) was nominated as regent and was also unable to put an end to the matter and thus this matter
is still dragging on today in 1943. The government also did nothing. The leaders except for the two teachers are Niklas Machele, Joseph More, Kornelis Sepeng, Konrad Makutle and some hags.
