Niklaas Pieter Johannes Van Rensburg (30 Augustus 1864 – 11 Maart 1926), was deur baie gesien as ‘n profeet tydens die Anglo-Boereoorlog aan die einde van die 19de eeu, waartydens die bynaam “Siener” aan hom gegee is na aanleiding van ‘n aantal klaarblyklike akkurate voorspellings tydens die oorlog. Sy voorspellings & visioene het ‘n baie sterk patriotiese en godsdienstige grondslag gehad, en was hy ook ‘n vertroueling van Genl. De la Rey, wat vir Siener gewerf het tot sy kommando.

Alhoewel menigte sy profesieë afmaak as verdigsels, fassineer die mistiek rondom Siener van Rensburg mense al vir meer as ‘n honderd jaar, en lok die blote noem van sy naam steeds reaksie uit.

Niklaas Pieter Johannes van Rensburg (30 August 1864 – 11 March 1926), was described as being a prophet to the Boer forces during the Anglo-Boer War at the end of the 19^th century. He was given the nickname of “Siener” (“Seer”), due to a few seemingly accurate predictions during the War. His predictions & visions had a strong religious & patriotic foundation, and during the War he was recruited to Gen. Koos de la Rey’s Commando, of whom he was a confidant during the conflict.

Although  many people have tried to discredit Siener’s prophesies, the mysticism surrounding Siener van Rensburg have fascinated people for more than a hundred years.
