Limpopo, BELA BELA / WARMBAD district, Rural (farm cemeteries) / Limpopo, BELA BELA district, Rooiberg, Hartbeesfontein 511 KQ, The RDP cemetery / (20 of 23 images)
Cemetery information:-
The settlement is called Rooiberg, situated between Thabazimbi and Warmbaths.
The cemetery is what is known as "The RDP" and this is the one I managed to photograph. It is doubtful that I got all the graves, it has a mix of very old and very new graves and is very overgrown and neglected and in the middle of the local township.
There is another cemetery in the area at what is known as "Smelterskop", its about 5 kms away situated on a farm. It supposedly has ABW graves on it as well as staff from the mine that was in this area. I failed to get permission to view & photograph it.
