This
is
a
fascinating
South
African
battlefield
site,
with
enough
to
see
to
even
keep
those
not
interested
in
battlefields
entertained.
Unfortunately
the
site
is
terribly
managed.
After
driving
10
kilometers
on
a
badly
maintained
gravel
road,
the
lady
at
the
gate
turned
us
away
because
we
did
not
have
cash.
Apparently
the
card
machine
was
broken,
and
she
would
not
let
us
go
pass
because
her
"boss
was
checking
on
her
via
the
surveillance
cameras".
So
you
have
electricity
to
check
on
your
employees,
but
nothing
to
help
tourists?
Bad
customer
service.
After
driving
back
to
Modderfontein,
to
draw
money
at
the
world's
dirtiest
ATM,
we
were
met
with
contempt
at
the
gate.
The
lady
at
the
gate
did
not
have
change
for
the
R100.00
we
just
had
to
drive
20
kilometres
to
obtain.
When
we
reached
the
restaurant,
we
were
welcomed
with
a
sign
that
said
they
accepted
no
credit
cards.
How
is
it
possible
for
any
business
to
STILL
not
accept
cards
or
even
Snapscan
in
the
year
2022???
The
lady
at
the
restaurant
was
as
useless
(only
more
rude)
than
the
one
at
the
gate.
We
were
presented
with
a
little
pamphlet
and
nothing
else.
No
information,
no
tips
as
to
how
to
navigate
the
site
-
just
a
cold
stare.
The
site
itself
is
massive,
perfect
for
shorter
hikes.
However,
the
signage
is
terrible
and
we
got
lost
with
our
small
vehicle
on
some
dodgy
roads.
There
is
great
potential
here,
and
the
history
of
the
highland
brigades
is
genuinely
a
moving
story.
However,
the
disinterested
staff
make
this
an
unpleasant
experience.
