South of Vredefort, the concentration camps cemetery site has a 1941 memorial to a Great Trek reenactment visit just outside. The entrance takes a Gedenktuin form, with a formal brick entrance and a huge War Graves Commission sign, dating from probably the 1990s. There are symbolic graves in long uniform rows, ‘restored’ and each marked with the same granite stone and formula of words. ‘The names of the dead’ are set into the sides of a modified obelisk shaped memorial dating from the 1960s.
