Robert Forsythe and Andre Wederpohl - Hobby Historians

Loading player...
Hobby historians, Robert Forsythe and Andre Wederpohl, traced the soldiers journey and battles from the West of Johannesburg close to the Cradle of Humankind, through to Paul Krugers' Farm in Boekenhoutfontein, where Robert purchased the farm and created Kedar Lodge.

I caught up with them at Misty Hills, Conference Hotel and Spa, and had a live history lesson, which we carried through many of the activities in the area. Including Bill Harrops Balloons where we flew over the battlefields, and at the Bothongo Rhino and Lion Park in the Wonder Caves where the Italians worked during the war.
