EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Scene One: Town Gardens, Pietermaritzburg, Natal Province, South Africa (circa 1930) In the first scene, we find ourselves in the heart of Pietermaritzburg, the capital city of KwaZulu-Natal Province. The lush Town Gardens, a tranquil oasis in the bustling town, unfolds before us. The meticulously manicured lawns, dotted with vibrant flowers, offer a serene escape for locals and visitors alike. The grand bandstand, a popular venue for concerts and events, stands proudly in the background. 2. Scene Two: Delville Wood Cross, Pietermaritzburg, Natal Province, South Africa (circa 1930) A short distance away, we come across the Delville Wood Cross, a poignant memorial dedicated to the fallen soldiers of the First World War. The cross, situated at the entrance of the city, is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the conflict. The names of the 1,616 brave men who lost their lives are inscribed on the plinth, a testament to their bravery and sacrifice. 3. Scene Three: Commercial Road, Pietermaritzburg, Natal Province, South Africa (circa 1930) As we venture further into the city, we find ourselves on Commercial Road, a bustling thoroughfare teeming with activity. The impressive architecture of the buildings lining the street is a testament to the city's rich history. The pavement is filled with people, some hurrying to their destinations, while others take their time to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. 4. Scene Four: Municipal Swimming Baths, Pietermaritzburg, Natal Province, South Africa (circa 1930) Our final scene takes us to the Municipal Swimming Baths, a popular recreational spot for locals. The towering clock tower, a distinctive feature of the baths, stands proudly in the background. The crystal-clear water invites swimmers to take a refreshing dip, while sunbathers lounge on the pavement, soaking up the sun. The scene is a perfect representation of the laid-back, carefree spirit of Pietermaritzburg in the 1930s.
