John Sweet Distin MLA (19 Aug 1826 - 2 Aug 1902) was a prominent member of the Parliament of the Cape of Good Hope. ==Early life and farming== Distin arrived in the Cape in 1846 when his family's ship was sailing past on its return from New Zealand. He jumped overboard from his ship and swam ashore in Table Bay. He found work as a soldier and then as a trader of the eastern frontier of the Cape Colony. He later became a farmer in Hantam, in the Middelburg District, Eastern Cape in the 1860s, and made his fortune in Ostrich farming. With his new fortune he built up his estate, Tafelberg Hall. (However later when the Ostrich boom ended, his business declined.) He married Selina White in Cradock in 1831, and had 11 children.
