On Saturday 13 March 2021 the AfriForum branch in Fochville launched a clean-up project as part of AfriForum’s monument audit at the Fochville Great Trek Memorial Monument.
This clean-up project was taken on together with community members and other roleplayers and some 25 people helped with the project. The branch mowed the grass, pruned and sprayed the trees with insecticide. About 80 black bags filled with refuse was removed.
According to Jaco van der Merwe, chairperson of AfriForum’s Fochville branch, it is important for history and monuments to be preserved. It makes one feel good when so many people still want to make a difference in their environment,” says Van der Merwe.
