Die Voortrekkermonument word lewendig
BRITS POS – BRITS - “Hierdie is nie my oorlog nie en steeds het ek alles verloor. Hardloop my kind, hulle is op ons, hardloop, maar die duiwel haal jou in, hulle steek mens en wa aan die brand.
Die desperate geskree na hulp weergalm nou nog in my kop, bloedveld regoor die landskap lê kinders soos koring gesaai, afgemaai, flenters, verwoes. Ou mense, vroumense en kinders assegaai so diep soos geloof self deur klein lyfies gedwing.”
Die woorde kom uit ’n monoloog uit die Gelofteblyspel wat deur die Voortrekkermonument se eie akteur Karla Hoogendoorn opgevoer is.

BRITS POS – PRETORIA - Een van die dae hoef Noordwesters en Gautengers nie meer ver te ry vir ’n natuurervaring nie. Waar anders kan jy in die middel van Pretoria veilig tussen ’n trop swartwildebeeste stap?
Die Voortrekkermonument (VTM) is in die proses om sy natuuraanbod uit te brei. Deel van hierdie aanbod is om vyf staproetes te open vir die publiek, ’n splinternuwe natuurgids uit te gee en moontlik later ’n uitkykpunt te bou by die gwarriegat waar voëlkykers kan uitspan.
Drie van hierdie roetes is reeds uitgelê en groepe natuurliefhebbers het reeds die roetes gestap en die VTM het net goeie terugvoer ontvang.
