Honoratus Maynier

Also known as Honoratus Christiaan David Maynier

Honoratus Maynier was an official of the Dutch East India Company who served as landdrost of Graaff-Reinet, on the eastern frontier of the Cape Colony, in the 1790s. His efforts to make peace with the Xhosa and to protect Khoikhoi servants from abuse angered the frontier farmers, who expelled him in February 1795 and declared a short-lived republic.
