Description
The Women's Memorial Monument in Bloemfontein will today host a re-enactment of the state funeral of Emily Hobhouse, which took place in 1929.
Hobhouse was a British welfare campaigner and anti-war activist. She is remembered for bringing to the attention of the British public, and working to change, the deprived conditions inside the British concentration camps built to incarcerate Boer and African civilians during the Second Boer War.
The re-enactment seeks to honour her humanitarian legacy and her contribution to South Africa's history.
