- Description
- Caption "This waterwheel made from sneezewood, which could be one of the oldest in South Africa, has been rebuilt in Pietermaritzburg. It was installed by the Voortrekker leader, Andries Pretorius, at his farmnear Weenen and in 1938 was placed in the garden of the Weenen Museum. It was brought to Pietermarizburg for rebuilding and restoration. As sneezewood is rare in South Africa, trees were specially cut and cured in Transkei to restore the wheel. The Natal Witness. S.A. Digest. 25-05-1979. ”
