Geocache Description:


Arguably the most muggled cache in Cape Town! Extreme stealth needed!

Ingrid Jonker, was a South African poet. While she wrote in Afrikaans, her poems have been widely translated into other languages. Jonker has reached iconic status in South Africa and is often compared with Sylvia Plath and Marilyn Monroe, owing to the tragic course of her turbulent life. (Source: Wikipedia)

On 19 July 1965, during the night, Ingrid Jonker filled her pockets with rocks and walked into the sea at this iconic beach. She would not been seen alive again.

Nelson Mandela read her poem, "Die kind (wat doodgeskiet is deur soldate by Nyanga)" ("The child (who was shot dead by soldiers at Nyanga)"), in English translation, during his address at the opening of the first democratically elected Parliament on 24 May 1994.

Have a seat in the middle of the middle and beware of muggles at this popular spot. Bring a pen for this magnetic micro cache.

Muggles galore, so please exercise EXTREME stealth. Difficulty rating due to muggle activity.
