Night Tour and Photo Session
The night tour of the Monument that took place on 21 September was very popular.
During the tour there was an opportunity for photographers to take rare night shots of the Monument.
This beautiful photo was taken by Malan Kotze.
Basket Boere-Country Dance
Unfortunately this dance had to be cancelled due to unforseen circumstances. However, there will be a dance on New Year’s day. This will be the first of our events in 2018 that will celebrate the 80th anniversary of laying the cornerstone of the Monument.
School Visits
When the year draws to a close, the visits by schools normally pick up. During the week of 25 to 29 September we had 1 400 school children on site. This group is from the Moriting Primary School.
This group is from Bakenkop Primary School and they came to see how the pioneers baked bread and churned butter.
