The Hattingh family is a prominent South African family. Formerly landowners of the Spier estate in Stellenbosch, they have more recently become influential in the politics of their country. Their founder, Hans Heinrich Hattingh, was a German settler who served as a free burgher of the Dutch Cape Colony in the late 1600s and early 1700s.[1][2][3][4]
