• It's an old article, with lists of sources at the bottom of the page. gBooks makes it clear that she wrote in Afrikaans, but also that she is discussed in other author's books [https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Essie+Honiball%22&client=firefox-b-1&source=lnms&tbm=bks&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiq1bnZ3PXeAhVkkuAKHRfICcwQ_AUIFCgB&biw=1591&bih=829'.

• However, I ran a Proquest archive search on her and got zero results. Delete.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:36, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
