Geocache Description:


This cache was placed at the place where an old State president is buried.

I have had the privilege to know him personally while he was retired and stayed in Wildernis.

The cache is placed close to his grave where he lies next to his late wife Elize.

PLEASE USE STEALTH WHEN LOOKING FOR THE CACHE AND REPLACE THE CONTAINER AS FOUND!

Pieter Willem Botha was the president of South Africa between 1984-1989. He was the last Prime Minister of the country (1978-1984).

Botha died of a heart attack at his home in Wilderness on Tuesday 31 October 2006, aged 90.[24] His death was met with magnanimity by many of his former opponents. Former President Nelson Mandela was reported as saying "while to many Mr. Botha will remain a symbol of apartheid, we also remember him for the steps he took to pave the way towards the eventual peacefully negotiated settlement in our country".

President Thabo Mbeki announced that flags would be flown at half staff, to mark the death of a former head of state. The offer of a state funeral was declined by Botha's family, and a private funeral was held on 8 November in the town of George, where Botha was buried. Mbeki attended the funeral.
