Description: Arina Kok recalls the lasting impression that Jan Smuts left on her when she met him at his home, as a young girl. It was an encounter that led to her in later years taking up the position of curator at the Smuts House Museum. Her comments give a personal perspective of a brilliant statesman, academic and philosopher, head and shoulders above his peers, who loved children and nature.
