About Siener van Rensburg

  • Nicolaas Pieter Johannes ("Niklaas" or "Siener") Janse van Rensburg (3 August 1864 – 11 March 1926) was a Boer from the South African Republic – also known as the Transvaal Republic – and later a citizen of South Africa who was considered by some to be a prophet of the Boers (a segment of the Afrikaners.
  • Consequently, his nickname became Siener (Afrikaans for "seer").
  • Van Rensburg's visions were typically wrapped in a patriotic, religious format, and have been interpreted by believers as predictions of future events.
  • During the Boer War he became a trusted companion, if not advisor to General de la Rey and President Steyn.
  • The extent of his influence with these figures is disputed, though the devoutly religious de la Rey seemed to have considered him a prophet of God.
