Northern Cape, WARRENTON district, Old Wedburg mining cemetery

Cemetery information:-
This is an 'at risk cemetery' that is in a mining area and contain some graves of pioneer diggers of the diamond rush and the Boer war (about 100 graves)
Wedberg was on the Vaal river opposite Windsorton and even bigger than Windsorton. Due to mining the whole town is no longer in existence and the only part that remains is the cemetery. It is in a sorry state and due to mining will not be there for much longer.
(Derek Smith)
