The monument is still in tact even though the plaque has no writing. We could not access or get inside the premises as it was locked and we couldn't see or read clearly as we were far away from the head stone.Purpose:Date Unveiled: UnknownDesigner: UnknownBuilder: UnknownPerson/Institution Commemorated: Edward RowlandsRecorder Name: Mpontseng and Buntu
