Dewetsdorp is a small town in the Free State province of South Africa. The town was set up, without approval of the Volksraad, by field-cornet Jacobus de Wet, father of the Boer War general Christiaan de Wet. Eventually recognized officially, the town became a municipality and named De Wet in 1890. General Christian de Wet successfully attacked English forces stationed there in November 1900.


Town 68 km south-east of Bloemfontein, on the road to Aliwal North. It was laid out on the farm Kareefontein in 1876 and at first bore this name. Applications to the Volksraad in 1876 for the establishment of a village failed, but another request in 1879 led to recognition in 1880 under the name Dewetsdorp, after Field-Cornet Jacobus Ignatius de Wet, father of General C R de Wet, who took the initiative in its establishment. Municipal status was attained in 1890. Dewetsdorp was the scene of heavy fighting in the Second Anglo-Boer War. In 1927 three officials died when the town hall was blown up by one Huibrecht Jacob de Leeuw in an attempt to cover up evidence of his embezzlement of town funds.[4][5] The new Town Hall built in 1928 was declared a South African Heritage Site in 1995.[6]

Node.js puppeteer - Use values from array in a loop to cycle through pages I'm using node.js and puppeteer to get some data. ... now I want to visit different pages based on inregular values from an array: My array looks like this: rows = [ RowDataPacket id: 1, value: 'L3', name: 'Steve' , RowDataPacket id: 2, value: 'GU', name: 'Peter' , RowDataPacket id: 3, value: 'M5', name: 'John' ] So the pages I want to visit are: await page.goto('url/search?action=getname&name=L3', waitUntil: 'load'); await page.goto('url/search?action=getname&name=GU', waitUntil: 'load'); await page.goto('url/search?action=getname&name=M5', waitUntil: 'load'); The array is actually 200 values long ... so I thought of doing a loop like this: await page.goto('url', waitUntil: 'load'); rows = [ RowDataPacket id: 1, value: 'L3', name: 'Steve' , RowDataPac...
