1871 is simply a small fenced off area of a public cemetery near
the city centre. It includes a few graves of Jews several Jewish
pioneers involved in the early days of the city who died serving on
either side in the Boer War, 1899-1902. Each of the 30 or so
tombstones of these pioneer families has been completely
