This a Monument that was declared a national heritage site in 2006. The monument is located on the Northern part of Mpumalanga Province, less than 850 meters to border fence of Kingdom of Eswatini and less than 2km to the border fence line of Mozambique 🇲🇿.

A unique museum and monument to this event place of Mozambique and South African history. The roads are very good to the monument/museum. It is remote but worth the trip. There is no food etc at the museum so stock up before you go but plenty of clean toilets.

One of the historical places you can visit to understand the politics in Africa, place clean and best tour guides. Road to the monument is adventurous. You need to have cash for a tour, no speed point, no shop monument it’s a a stand alone in an open field.
