ZACHARIAH (Sakkie) is the story of a boy with the Second Boer War as a factual backdrop. Sakkie, a young boy of fifteen years old, leaves home in Cape Town to join his father and brothers in the Commando fighting the British, under Kitchener, in the bush of South Africa. His friend, Dawie, accompanies him. They travel by train with the corps of Cecil John Rhodes as far as Kimberly. He joins the Commando there and has his first taste of chaos in battle. He is bush-wise from the lessons he has learnt from his father and brothers but learns a lot more in the months to come. Sakkie is given a diamond under strange circumstances and thereafter is harassed due to the misconception that he knows the whereabouts of the source of the diamonds. After the signing of the surrender by the Boers, he visits relatives in Pretoria. It is on his way to Pretoria that he meets Tish, a young girl, who changes his outlook on life forever. Sakkie's journey is filled with the dangers of the bush of those days and the greed and resentment of men in general. Potential robbers of the "Kruger Millions" unknowingly come to their aid.
