This page could be of general interest to show you the original style Identity document which only white South African citizen was issued with. Non-whites were issued with a dompas. |
| The pages contained important personal particulars. |  |

Once I had my military driving license my staff sergeant, Staff Nel allowed me on 26 September 1973 to use a Bedford to go into the Orange Free State provincial test centre to obtain my code 10 (heavy duty) drivers licence. |

The cost for the test was all of R2.00 the equivalent of about 11 pence which was about 3 days of my army wage of 73 cents per day. |
On 4th February 1978 I got married at the Umbogintwini Macdonald memorial Presbyterian church by the Rev. James. R. Elias. |
