Monument getooi vir Kruger 200-makietie
Klerksdorp Midweek, Pretoria - Die Voortrekkermonument in Pretoria is in die gees van lente kleurvol getooi in aanloop tot die maand lange 200ste herdenking van Paul Kruger, president van die destydse Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (ZAR), se geboortedag op 10 Oktober 1825. Dit is die eerste keer sedert die jare tagtig wat die Monument op dié manier versier word. “’n Fees ter herdenking van Kruger se nalatenskap kan natuurlik nie in isolasie van die vier kleure van die destydse Transvaal geskied nie. Benewens byna 300 meter se kleurvolle materiaalbane (wat met 6 km se gare gestik en 300 meter se kabel versterk is) aan die vooraansig van die Monument, word dié graad 1- nasionale erfenisbaken ook saans verlig as huldeblyk aan die voormalige staatsman,” sê Dawid Brand, bedryfshoof: beeld en groei van die Voortrekkermonument.

This year’s theme is taken from a passage in Bosman’s essay “Marico revisited”, where he writes that on visiting the Marico after an absence of many years, he “found what I should have known, all along(…) that it was the present that was haunted, and that the past was not full of ghosts”.
