Today is the 15th Feb 2011. In 4 years time exactly Cornelius Janse Human was born outside Heidelberg Western Cape, South Africa 100 years ago. I'm creating a space here to tell his story. He was an incredible genius who's inventions between the 1940's and 1964 made a difference to agriculture in South Africa. Today's exercise is simply to see if I can make a start, because his story will be told here over several months, even years to come. I'm fortunate to have many photographs and original documents, and a lot of living friends who used or witnessed his agricultural implements, some of which were unique and innovative in its day. No where have I been able to see any record of his achievements on the internet. Several people I've met recently have articles or publications of his work, sometimes similar to mine. I hope to bring his story to book before there is no one left to do so. I owe it to his great grand children whom I've never met, and who are living in the Northern Hemisphere, and who may one day be dazzled to realize what genes they have in their bodies... May it inspire them to be the best they can and to excel like their great grand father did.
