Gideon Scheepers was commandant of the group of Boer Scouts and renowned for his ‘daring do’ bravery during the South African. He was also tried and convicted for murdering a number of black people as supposed spies. Tied to a chair, he was executed and buried at a place not recorded to prevent this is becoming a martyrdom shrine. A memorial was later placed in the likely vicinity, and is still often adorned with plastic or fresh flowers.
