The Symbolic Oxwagon Trek of 1938

It is difficult to find another single event which stirred Afrikaner
emotions more between the Anglo-Boer War and the Second World War than the
symbolic oxwagon trek of 1938. Not even the people who planned and organised
it, the Afrikaner Broederbond, had the faintest idea it would be such an
overwhelming success.
What started as a fairly inconspicuous attempt to celebrate the
centenary of the Great Trek by sending a team of oxwagons from Cape Town to
Pretoria became a rousing national movement. At the final celebrations 200
000 Afrikaners camped for days at Monument Koppie, the site chosen for the
Voortrekker Monument to be completed about 10 years later.
