Siener van Rensburg (1860 - 1927) was a South African, that composed several prophecies, including World War III.

On 15 September 1914, just before the start of the Maritz Rebellion, generals Koos de la Rey and Christiaan Beyers set off together to visit major J.C.G. Kemp in Potchefstroom, who had a large armoury and a force of 2000 men who had just finished training, many of whom were thought to be sympathetic to the rebels' ideas. On the way to the meeting de la Rey was accidentally shot by a policeman at a road block set up to look for the Foster gang. At his funeral, however, many Nationalist Afrikaners believed and perpetuated the rumour that it was a government assassination, which added fuel to the fire; this was further enflamed by Siener van Rensburg and his controversial prophecies.
