Eldoret - J.H. Engelbrecht was always one of the leading Afrikaans. He farmed right on the Eldoret boundary and was a very large wheat farmer with 1,000 acres or more under wheat. He started in the normal way with oxen ploughing the land and broadcasting the seed, until eventually he used the most modern methods of fertilising and expensive machinery and was highly successful. Mr Engelbrecht was the contractor who built the first African housing scheme. He made concrete blocks and did all the construction. Prior to that he was famed for driving an Oldsmobile carriage service from Nyeri to Nairobi three times a week with the mail, a feat in those days. The Duchess of York (now the Queen Mother) presented him with a signed photograph of herself.
