Summary edit

Description
Afrikaans: 'n Portugese kruis, gekerf deur 'n 19de eeuse reisiger op 'n Hardekool op die Letabaoewer, langs die S95-pad naby Letabakamp in die Krugerwildtuin. Dit kon deur D.F. das Neves se jaggeselskap aangebring gewees het, wat in 1860/61 deur hierdie gebied na die Zoutpansberg gereis het. Óf miskien deur een van die Portugese soldate wat pos na João Albasini karwy het tussen Lourenço Marques en Goedgewensch, Zoutpansberg.
English: A Portuguese cross, carved by 19th century travellers on a Leadwood tree on the bank of the Letaba river, beside the S95 road near Letaba camp, Kruger National Park. It may have been carved by a hunting party of D. F. das Neves who travelled from Lourenço Marques through the current Kruger National Park to the Zoutpansberg in 1860/61. Or it may have been carved by one of the Portuguese soldiers who carried post for João Albasini between Lourenço Marques and Goedgewensch, Zoutpansberg.[1]
