Voortrekker Monument |
The great
grey colossus can be seen from all directions
as you approach Pretoria... the massive Voortrekker
Monument, built in honour of the Voortrekkers
(Pioneers), who left the Cape Colony in their
thousands between 1835 and 1854. The architect
was Gerard Moerdijk and it was his ideal to design
a "monument that would stand a thousand
years to describe the history and the meaning
of the Great Trek to its descendants."
Notwithstanding
the massive size of the Monument, two other elements
make it a site worth visiting: the Historical
Frieze and the Cenotaph Hall.
The
majestic Voortrekker Monument is situated in
the northern part of South Africa in the Pretoria
(Tshwane) region in a nature reserve. It is a
unique Monument which commemorates the Pioneer
history of Southern Africa and the history of
the Afrikaner and is situated in a beautiful
setting. Today it is the most visited heritage
site of its kind in Gauteng and one of the top
ten cultural historical visitor attractions in
the country.
