The Barefooted Woman Statue
A few kilometers from the Retief Rock, a statue was erected in memory of the brave Voortrekker women of Pietermaritzburg, who insisted that they would rather ’walk barefoot back over the mountains than live under British rule again’ after the British annexation of Natal (1842).
