I reverted some changes that I felt was pejorative, especially boldface and multiple exclamation points!!!11!111111oneoneoneoneeleven! Instead I added the section about controversy. Please discuss any objections, I'd like to make this page better. I realise we're really thin on citation in this one (zero is the physical minimum right?), but it seems it can't be helped. Very little oral history seems to ever been documented among the Afrikaners. Seems Afrikaner anthropologists are all off documenting other people's oral history hehe. Despite the lack of citations, we do need to have this story for the sake of explaining those plaques at the Voortrekker Monument, since even if the story is fictitious, the creators felt it important enough to include it in the monument. -- Squiose ( talk) 09:21, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
What happened to the calf?

I've noticed that both 'Ragel' and 'Rachel' are used in the article for the same person. The names may be translations of each other but couldn't we just pick one and stick with it throughout the article? Invmog ( talk) 15:09, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
Perhaps it is worth mentioning the striking similarity between this story and The Child Heroine of New Brunswick. Jympstart ( talk) 18:53, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
