Piet Retief's Farm Summerstrand Port Elizabeth

QUOTE: “From 1814 to 1821 the Strandfontein farm, which later became the Summerstrand beach suburb of Port Elizabeth, was in possession of Piet Retief, who later became a Voortrekker leader and was killed in 1837 by Zulu king Dingane during negotiations about land. An estimated 500 men, woman and children of his party were massacred. After Retief the Strandfontein farm was owned by Frederik Korsten after whom another suburb of Port Elizabeth is named today”.

Piet Retief’s farm is marked by a small monument, if this has not been removed by the present government, and is a short distance from the Summerstrand Shopping Centre in an open patch of ground.
