Voortrekker Monument




In October we visited the Voortrekker Monument near Pretoria which commemorates the northern trek of the Boers from the Cape area of South Africa to escape British rule and try to have more freedom and land. The monument is huge with the displays etc giving such moving accounts of the treks which happened in the 1830s and 1840s. So much comparison with the early pioneers of the Church who trekked west to escape persecution.
