Mauritz Coetzee, well known for his knowledge on rifles and reloading passed on yesterday, apparently from a heart attack. He was a founder member of BASA and was very active in the reloading association. He was a friendly helpful person with lots of knowledge. Last I saw him he was busy with a client at Zimbi books and we only had time for a handshake and a few quick words.

You will be remembered and missed RIP.

Our condolences to his family

I remember Maurtitz from the early 2000s in SA. He was a good man and will be missed in this community.

A great loss, Mauritz always had time for a handshake and a cup of coffee.
He was extremely knowledgable about ballistics and was always willing to share his knowledge with a humility that was unbelievable.
He had a vast library of published AND personal research work.
For our local propellants we only have a few common calibres with published load data, whenever you bought something new you could phone Mauritz and he would recite from memory a load he had helped somebody develop. That evening your phone would ring and he would confirm the load after he had checked his notes.
To quote from a translated poem: 'Silence brothers! There goes a MAN.'

Met him in 2001. PH Pieter Diedricks took us by to inquire about .375 Wby loadings with RHINO bullets. We left a camera behind and had to get it shipped over along with bullets from the Pretoria store. A second trip in 2007 had him arranging a copy of "Nyati" for us. Great guy!

RIP Mauritz
As long as it's quick, death is bearable


" Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins.
When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.
Yours truly , Milan The Boarkiller - World according to Milan
PS I have big boar on my floor...but it ain't dead, just scared to move...

Man should be happy and in good humor until the day he dies...
Only fools hope to live forever
