- 2012364080 abstract "Tells the unique life story of Sir David Graaff who grew up as a poor child in Villiersdorp but was taken to Cape Town to work at a family friend's butchery. Within a few years, David was not only in charge of the butchery, but was the first person to use refrigerated storage facilities for meat in South Africa. This led to the building of a business empire that made him a millionaire. He went on to have a colourful life and played a role in many South African milestones.
