The Garden of Remembrance, Brakpan

The Garden of Remembrance in Brakpan should rather be called the wreckage of remembrance. I am sure that when this memorial was built it was really impressive, but alas now it is a travesty. It does not appear that anything has been done here in ages, and I doubt very much that anything ever will. Considering that Remembrance day was 9 days ago prior to when I took these photographs in 2007, I doubt whether any remembering was done in Brakpan. I have since heard that the names which were on the memorial have since been removed or stolen (August 2008). Images open in a new window.
