+Mr [[J.J. de Kock]] (circa 1801? - 1872??) was an amateur song writer and compiler, dancer and actor, theatre administrator,  publisher of an Almanac and sworn court translator.

-Born [[Johannes Jacobus de Kock]] in Cape Town, he studied at the school ''Tot Nut van 't Algemeen'' ("Of use to all") , and became a local actor, author and businessman - compiler of an Almanac ("De Zuid-Afrikaansche blygeestige Almanak en Naamlyst voor het jaar onzes Heeren" ) and a "general agent and sworn translator" of the High Court  (see Bosman, 1928: p. 495; Conradie, 1934: p. 272).

 He is one of a number of persons named '''De Kock''' active in theatre between 1825 and 1837. However, besides the individuals listed as [[A. de Kock]] and [[K. de Kock]], it is unclear from [[F.C.L.

 He was a strong supporter of [[C.E. Boniface]] in the 1830s, was most probably a member of the amateur society [[Honi Soit qui Mal y Pense]] in Cape Town, and definitely named as the secretary of the amateur company [[Vlyt en Kunst]] in the period 1834 till 1838 (sometimes credited as [[J.J. de Kock]], sometimes as [[J. de Kock]] or as "J.J. de Kock Cz"). By 1837/8 he seemed to be in control of the company, or a segment of it. On occasion he also sold the tickets at his offices at 20 Wale Street for performances, e.g. for a presentation of ''[[A Fantasmagorie]]'' ([[M. Decanis]]).
-On 10 September 1836 [[Vlyt en Kunst]] did a production of ''[[Montoni, of Het kasteel van Udolpho]]'' (Duval/Radcliffe, tr Bruggemans) followed by ''[[Nog Net Zoo|Nognetzoo]]'' ([[Charles Etienne Boniface|Boniface]]),  as a benefit performance for De Kock, to cover the costs incurred in a court case he had lost against [[J.
