OUR STORY
Moerdijk chose a unique design for the monument. The massive granite monument is built on a hill and can be seen from any direction in Pretoria. The monument thus serves as a beacon of hope and a reminder to the Afrikaners of their heritage. The Voortrekker Monument is without a doubt, a well-thought-out work of art with a lot of symbolism. No image is made for aesthetic value only – everything means something.
EXPERIENCE
Come and visit the Voortrekker Monument’s school kitchen. School on Wheels is a coffee house located diagonally opposite the Voortrekker Monument. “Vetkoek”, jaffles, boerewors rolls, and pancakes are some of the delicious dishes you can enjoy with a cup of quince latte coffee. The store also sells cute educational toys for kids. Experience the nostalgia of the good old school days again.
