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. Historical Monuments Commission 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.
