Beperk., Stellenbosch, in 1948).

Hiemstra, [[Juta & Co.]], 1948).
 Other areas of endeavour included a period as prospector, an importer of seeds and bees from various countries and entrepreneur. In the [[Afrikaans]] [[Wikipedia]] entry on him, it is claimed that he was ''inter alia'' the inventor of the original "safari suit" with long trousers, a form of dress that - especially in its more informal style - was popular among South African men in the mid-20th century, as it was in Australia and other commonwealth regions. It seems more likely, given his career as importer, that he imported the idea from India and Australia.
