Sourced the following:brOn September 4, 1901, during the South African War, the famed British army rebel hunter Colonel Harry SCOBELL trapped and captured Commandant J C LÖTTER, LÖTTER's right-hand man, Lieutenant Pieter WOLFAARDT and most of the members of their commando south of Graaff-Reinet Fourteen men were killed and 126 were captured The men had been betrayed by Lewis VAN NIEKERK, who'd given SCOBELL the precise location of the camp br brOne of the top commandants in the Cape, LÖTTER was known for his daring "hit and run" tactics Earlier in the war, after the British had introduced their shocking scorched earth and concentration camp policies, LÖTTER and the commandos had been allowed to retaliate br brHaving burnt houses belonging to loyalists, executed spies and whipped those he considered traitors, LÖTTER stood accused of "murder, marauding and disgraceful conduct of a cruel nature" and was charged with human rights violations and war crimes But there are historians who maintain that the British scorch and burn policy had had many similar aspects and the only "real crime" for which LÖTTER could have been tried was being a Cape rebel The main point of contention was whether he was a Free Stater or a British subject LÖTTER claimed his proof of Free State citizenship was lost the day he was captured and he was therefore sentenced to death as a Cape rebel br brWOLFAARDT was accused of shooting two troopers at point-blank range and wounding another He was sentenced to death for murder and attempted murder br brThe two men were sent to Middelburg on October 11 In a street adjoining the town square death sentences were read out to both Businesses in town were ordered to close and the entire population was compelled to attend the sentencing The following day LÖTTER was taken to a spot next to Richmond Road where he was tied to a chair and shot He was buried there and this is where the "Stoel Monument" still stands br brThree days later WOLFAARDT was taken to the same place, where he shared LÖTTER's fate The two were buried in the same grave Six years later, the remains of both men were dug up, placed in one coffin, and reburied in the Middelburg cemeterybrThe betrayer, Lewis VAN NIEKERK must have been family, a great, great cousin Comment from : Brian van Niekerk

We had a MIGHTY MEN CONFERENCE out on a farm Alot of men was saved there br AMEN!!!! Comment from : David Thompson

Love this episode Comment from : graeme kruger

Most interesting and, hitherto unknown to me, history of the Stoel Monument One could say much about that era, the criminal invasion of this country, not dissimilar to what's happening in Ukraine right now That men got executed for trying to drive out the enemy Oh, I think of that brutal Ozzie, Breaker Morant, Lords Kitchener, Milner and the like, how brutal they were Yet as few as sixteen thousand men, actually much of them very young boys, managed to keep 450,000 well provisioned soldiers at bay for a few years brbrToday, there is birdsong and a forgotten past People are wrong to hate others for what had occurred a century ago; today's people never were part of those atrocities My wife and I feel the need to go visit that stoel monument as only Dust Bugs told the story, a story that needs to be unearthed and told in detail There is very little about it on the internet, and I am not sure why One should erect mileposts to see where you were coming from, to help you find your way in life, as the prophet Jeremiah prompted us to do Comment from : noyota 🇿🇦

Thank you kindly for your efforts, you know what will be brilliant , is to fabricate wheels under your car that fit on rail tracks and explore like that, from town to town Comment from : Daniel Prinsloo
