| Goldmann | C S | | | Correspondent for the Cape Argus / Standard & Outlook. QSA issued: 16 Feb 03. Born at Burghersdorp, Cape Colony For many years Mr C S Goldmann had been identified with the firm of S Neumann and Company, one of the most powerful of the SA mining and financial groups, when in 1895 he was admitted to partnership in the firm, from which he has since retired. Mr Goldmann is a man of enormous energy and concentration; he has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the requirements of the Rand industry, and devoted himself entirely to the gold mining branch of his firm's business. He is Chairman of the Lingham Timber and Trading Company, and a director of the Langlaagte Block B Deep, the Alexandra Estate and GM Company, the Knight Central, the Marievale Nigel, the Rickuil Company, Consolidated Main Reef, Main Reef Deep, Main Reef East, New Modderfontein, Treasury, Vogelstruis Consolidated, Deep, Witwatersrand Deep, Wolhuter, Bantjcs Consolidated Mines, Cloverfield Mines, Hercules Company, Main Reef West, Randfontein Deep, West Rand Consolidated Mines, West Rand Trust, Withank Colliery, and York GM Company, Ltd Mr Goldmann is the author of The Witwatersrand Goldfields, Goldmann's South African Mining and Finance, and Goldmann's Map of the Witwatersrand— all invaluable works for those who aspire to complete knowledge of the Transvaal Fields. In the Boer War he acted as war correspondent of the Argus and Standard, and at its close he brought out a book on the cavalry operations, entitled With General French in South Africa. He is President of the SA Football Assoc, and has a cultivated artistic taste. He married, Feb 11, 1899, Hon Agnes Mary, younger daughter of the Right Hon Viscount Peel, of the Lodge, Sandy, Beds., late Speaker of the House of Commons, and granddaughter of Sir Robert Peel, the great Prime Minister.
