The Anzac Rand Revolt Memorial in Brakpan

This memorial in Brakpan has been relegated to the veldt and no maintenance has taken place there for years. Commemorating what is known as the "Brakpan Mine Incident" during the Rand Revolt of 1922. It seems as if the ideal was to have a place of reflection, with benches around the sides and an unused stamp mill to provide relevance. The stamp mill is gone, the fence is falling down and the road is just a track. Sadly the overall state of the memorial is as such that soon it will be just another abandoned structure which has no indication of its history. Images open in a new window.
