AFRICA, SOUTH AFRICA- Gold beaded bracelets we made from gold strips or short lengths of gold wire, which was hammered rather than drawn. There was no evidence found for wire drawing at Mapungubwe, and all the wire appeared to have been hammered and in some cases fashioned into coiled necklaces as well.

General Joubert, the Commander-in-Chief of the Boer forces. An experienced officer and brave soldier. By his great strategical moves and persistency he has been able to prevent the advance of the British column in Natal, and his successive victories over the British prove his skill in warfare. In 1890, while Commander-in-Chief of the Boers, he opposed President Kruger in the election for the Presidency and was defeated only by a small majority. He then retired form politics and devoted his life to organising military forces in the Transvaal, which he has brought to a state of proficiency equal to some of the finest military organisations of Europe.
He served in the Cape Regiment and took part in the Battle of Grahamstown. He was appointed Government Land Surveyor in 1823.
