At the end of the millennium the town of Mafikeng is commemorating the siege of Mafikeng. As part of our role in reconsiliation and as being homeshoolers of different ages and levels of shooling, we decided to research the Anglo Boer war of 1899 and more in particular the cultures involved. We did however include some of the military aspects. As the members of team have different interests the webpage will reflect those interests. The webpage will be used to provide information to interested parties, so that the research can be made available to the general public. People and their families usualy have a lot of memories to share but nobody to listen to it. We hope that this page will continue for a long time and serve the purpose it is meant for - to help to reconsile and to commemorate.
