Die eerste dryfjag op Christiaan de Wet (nie hier aangedui) was van 15 Julie tot 14 Augustus 1900, en het by die Brandwaterkom begin.

Die dryfjag duur tot minstens 14 Desember 1900, wanneer die Boere by Sprinkaansnek deurbreek. Hierna probeer en misluk De Wet om die Kaapkolonie binne te val. Die derde dryfjag is van Januarie tot Februarie 1901 (net vanaf Philippolis aangedui), waar De Wet wel daarin slaag om die Oranjerivier oor te steek, maar hy moet na die Vrystaat terugkeer na druk agtervolging.

Second pursuit of de Wet including his first attempt to penetrate the Cape Colony

Third pursuit of de Wet including his second attempt to penetrate the Cape Colony

The first pursuit of Christiaan de Wet (not shown here) lasted from 15 July to 14 August 1900, and began at the Brandwater Basin. The second pursuit began just south of Bothaville, where De Wet's commando was overrun on 6 November 1900 by Col. Le Gallais. The pursuit lasted at least until 14 December 1900, when the Boers broke through at Sprinkaans Neck. After this, De Wet tried and failed to penetrate the Cape Colony. The pursuit lasted from January to February 1901 (only shown from Philippolis), where De Wet managed to cross the Orange River. Being relentlessly pursued, he ere long returned to the Free State.
