Amongst much of the memorabilia and displays in this siege museum in the CBD are images of the military figures present in the town, besieging it or involved in its relief, and associated battles. Amongst them are General’s Botha, Koch, Haig and Joubert seen below. This well put together exhibit has diaramas, memorabilia, images and much more from the period and is a must see in order to obtain a well balanced overview of this siege from 2 November 1899 to 28 February 1900.
