Summary

Description
Afrikaans: Brakpan se mynwerkerstaking: Op 9 Maart 1922 is 3 polisiemanne en 4 mynbeamptes by die Brakpan-myne vermoor. Dit was tydens die ernstigste staking wat die land ooit ondervind het. Die mynwerkers was ontevrede oor besnoeiings van die arbeidsmag weens die dalende goudprys en het gemeenskaplik begin staak. Die situasie het so ernstig geword dat Jan Smuts krygswet afgekondig het. Hierdie gedenkteken herinner aan die beamptes wat by die Brakpan-myne gesterf het.
English: Brakpan miners strike: On 9 March 1922 3 policemen and 4 mine officials were killed on the Brakpan Mines. This was during the worst strike this country has ever known. The miners were unhappy about the work force cut backs due to the falling gold price and as one they came out on strike. It was so bad that Jan Smuts declared martial law. This memorial serves to remember the officials who died at the Brakpan mines.
