2.) We have discovered very old maps of South Africa which have the town of Volksrust thereon. These are linked to the Online Library of the University of Cape Town. Our webmaster took it upon himself to obtain permission from UCT to link our website to the maps so that we can view them and in turn allow the members of the Internet public to view them as well. Fortunately, they (UCT) have graciously consented. The blog post with the links about it can be accessed at this link below:

So to all of our history buffs out there, this one is for you! Enjoy!
Do enjoy the rest of your day/evening!
Kind regards,
