Antonie Johannes Havinga was born in Burgersdorp, Albert, Eastern Cape, South Africa on 11th June 1846. He had a total of 8 brothers and sisters and the years of deaths of his brother could indicate that they also fought and 1 possibly unfortunately died in the Zulu wars(1879).

Antonie served in the Albert Burghers, and approximately 265 medals were awarded to this unit. The Albert Burghers were a unit of South African Volunteers, the unit was named Albert because of the magisterial district, and they engaged with the Gaikas, Galekas and other Kafir Tribes in 1877-8.

He lived on to the great age of 86 when he passed away in his hometown of Burgersdorp on 22nd September 1932.
