About Anna Margaretha Kloppers (Potgieter)

Baptism 1883 Rustenburg

Anna Margaretha Kloppers (Potgieter) married Mauritz Hermann Otto Kloppers, and lived at the Kloppers family farm in the Moot, a valley at the base of the Magaliesburg mountains, South Africa. During the Anglo-boer war (1898-1903), she and other Boer wives and children fled up the mountain behind the home at night to hide from British soldiers in a cave near Shelter Rock.
She and her children were captured, and held in a British concentration camp. Her 2 eldest children died in the concentration camp.
The heritage farmhouse displaying photos of her and other family can be rented here: http://www.rustig.co.za/
