Description
This media shows a South African Protected Site with SAHRA file reference 9/2/407/0013.
Afrikaans: Waarskynlike boerekamp. Hierdie monument is geleë te Congellapark, op die hoek van Umbilo- en Hannahstrate, in Glenwood, Durban. Die plaket is verwyder, moontlik gesteel om as skrootmetaal verkoop te word. Die inskripsie van 'n nuwe plaket word onder aangegee.
English: Presumed Boer Camp. This monument is located in Congella Park, which is located on the corner of Umbilo and Hannah Roads, Glenwood, Durban. A plaque seems to have been removed, presumably stolen to be sold as scrap metal. The inscription of a new plaque is given below.[1]
VOORTREKKER CAMP
During the siege of Port Natal in 1842, the camp of Commandant General A.W.
Pretorius was in this vicinity. On the night of 23rd May 1842 the Voortrekkers
from this camp decisively repulsed an attack by a British force under command of
Captain T.C. Smith at Congella. This led to Dick King's ride to Grahamstown to
obtain reinforcements.

VOORTREKKERKAMP
Gedurende die beleg van Port Natal in 1842 was die kamp van Kommandant-Generaal
A.W. Pretorius in hierdie omgewing. Die aand van 23 Mei 1842 het die Voortrekkers
'n aanval deur 'n Britse mag onder bevel van Kaptein T.C. Smith by Congella op
beslissende wyse teruggeslaan. Dit het gelei na Dick King se rit na Grahamstad om
versterkings te kry.
