Voortrekker Monument
This is Biggest Monument in Africa. Specifically important to the overall understanding of Boer culture in South Africa in the 1800’s. While Pretoria at that time was Boer capital. Built to honour those who left the Cape Colony under British control in pursuit of self determination. Subsequently left the Cape colony between 1835 and 1855 and became known as Voortrekkers. It is a massive 40 metre high granite structure built on a hill top and can be seen from most parts of Pretoria. The laager wall of 64 wagons circles the Voortrekker monument while being the same number of wagons used in battle of Blood River. A very significant battle in South Africa’s past. Above all the Voortrekker monument played a huge part in uniting Afrikaners in 1940s. Thus was important in bringing about Apartheid. As a result, Afrikaans is today still very prominent in Pretoria. Although Pretoria is also culturally diverse it's culturally different to Johannesburg.
Kruger Museum
Learn more about the former president of South Africa and view a display of furniture and personal items that belonged to the Kruger family. Kruger House Museum was Kruger’s personal House. Built in 1884, it was the first house in Pretoria to be lit by electricity. Immaculately recreated to look exactly as it did when Paul Kruger, president of the Zuid Afrikaanse (Transvaal) Republiek, lived there more than a century ago. On view is also the Presidential coach – luxury train wagon. Across the road is Paul Kruger’s Pretoria Church, the Gereformeerde Kerk.
