There is on display, in the Voortrekker Monument, the famous Tapestry of the Great Trek and it depicts the role of the woman.

The artist W.H. Coetzer designed the tapestries, after which nine women of the ATKV embroidered for eight years to complete it. The series of tapestries depict scenes from the Great Trek, placing the accent on the role of women. The Tapestry contains 3,3 million stitches. The design was apparently undertaken in 1952, after a decision  made by the Women and Mothers' Movement of South Africa,  to make a tapestry that would commemorate the Great Trek.

                                                                             The tapestry is made up of fifteen panels, and is a magnificent display.
