About Ox Wagon Monument
The Ox Wagon Monument in Napier, Western Cape, is a historical landmark that commemorates the Great Trek of 1838. It is officially known as the Kakebeenwa Monument, named after the traditional "jawbone" style of wagon used by the Voortrekkers. The monument serves as a tribute to the courage and pioneering spirit of the Afrikaner settlers who left the Cape Colony for the interior. Its location in Napier is particularly meaningful because the town's main road is named after Sarel Cilliers, a famous Voortrekker leader who once stayed in the town after a shipwreck.
