The du Toit's Cemetery

Amongst vines, just meters away from to the original du Toit's farm house, rests the du Toit's cemetery. 

At the entrance of the cemetery there's a plaque, erected by the Historical Monuments Commission!

A Tombstone has Afrikaans forefathers' names, such as: the Rev. S.J. du Toit, D.F. du Toit - better know as 'oom Lokomotief' (Uncle Locomotive), the doctor D.F. du Toit, etc. 

A remarkable site, one that should make us proud of our heritage, shouldn't the weeds and signs of time have taken over.

How did this happen? How can we ignore a historical monument and repudiate our lineage? 

Certainly us, Huguenots' descendants could take the initiative of organizing a regular clearing up of this last resting place.

Let's join our efforts and let's do the right thing!
