Lonely Planet review

Around 1.5km west of Church Square you'll find Heroes' Acre Cemetery, the burial place of a number of historical figures including Andries Pretorius, Paul Kruger and Hendrik Verwoerd. Henry H 'Breaker' Morant, the Australian Boer War antihero executed by the British for war crimes, is also buried here - look for the low sign pointing to the gravestone from one of the north-south avenues. If you miss this, you'll never find it.
