Founded in 1892, situated on the R26, Fouriesburg is only 9 km from the border of Lesotho, and the ideal stop over for travelers into the Mountain Kingdom.
This is an easy cache in the owners' home town
Fouriesburg takes it's name from the number of Fourie families in the immediate area when the town was founded. It was named the capital of the Freestate during the AngloBoer War when Bloemfontein was over taken by the British, and this was never rescinded, so locals like to believe that this little town still holds this title.
The Street name where the cache is hidden is taken either from CJ de Villiers, who commanded that all Freestaters between the ages of 16 and 60 join in the war, when the Freestate joined forces with the Transvaal against the British (This included all English people who had been in the Freestate longer than 3 years!); or P de Villiers, who was a commander in the Ficksburg Commando, and was involved in trying to get Boer soldiers out of the Fouriesburg basin, which was thwarted, and ended in the Surrender on Surrender Hill.
The cache is NOT on a sign
