Gauteng, JOHANNESBURG, Kensington, The Garrison
Notes by Carlo Kaminski:-
"To clarify exactly where the tombstone
is located: The main entrance to the old Queens
High school is in Langerman Drive, Kensington,
Johannesburg. I attended this school back in
1970. The school is now used by Transvaal
Scottish Regiment as its Battalion Headquarters –
called The Garrison, as well as others, such as
the South African Irish Regiment.
To also clarify that the gravesite is not in a
cemetery, it is a lone gravesite/tombstone, to be
found on the southern boundary of the old school
grounds, alongside Westmoreland Road (in the
south western corner)."
Pieter Du Venage wrote:
"The names on the tombstone are that
of my great-grandfather and great-grandmother,
Abraham Nicolaas du Venage + 2 Apr 1920 and
Martha Helena Pretorius + 22 Jul 1915 in
Johannesburg 58 years old"
