Voltelin Albert William van der Bijl (31 January 1872 – 2 October 1941) was a South African cricketer who played for Western Province in the 1890s.[1]
Voltelin van der Bijl was an all-rounder who batted in the middle order and opened the bowling. He took 6 for 56 and 3 for 36 in Western Province's victory over Griqualand West in 1890–91.[2] In the 1892–93 season he made his highest first-class score of 61 and took three wickets when Western Province beat Transvaal in Western Province's first appearance in the Currie Cup.[3] He was selected to tour England in South Africa's first overseas tour in 1894 but was unavailable and was replaced by Charles Mills.[4]
His nephew Pieter van der Bijl and Pieter's son Vintcent played cricket for South Africa.
