== Biography ==
 
 
 
Born in Cape Town, he is one of a number of persons named De Kock active in theatre between 1825 and 183*. However, it is unclear whether the individuals referred to  variously as [[Johannes Jakobus de Kock]], [[J.J. de Kock]], [[J. de Kock]] or [[J. de Kock C. zoon]] by [[F.C.L. Bosman]] (1928: p. 231) are all the same person, as [[F.C.L. Bosman|Bosman]] suggests,  or are possibly only relations.
