Bloemfontein will revisit a significant moment in South African history on Saturday, 31st of October, when the funeral procession of British humanitarian Emily Hobhouse is re-enacted at the National Women's Monument, marking 100 years since her burial in 1926.

Learners from Oranje and Eunice will play a central role in the centenary commemoration, helping to recreate the historic procession that drew approximately 20,000 people to the monument a century ago.

In 1926, around 100 Oranje learners participated in Hobhouse's funeral procession. This year, 103 learners will take part in the re-enactment, dressed in white gowns and veils, each carrying a palm branch.

Approximately 650 historically accurate costumes have been designed and produced for the occasion by Sylvia van Heerden, a former Oranje learner from the Class of 1980.

According to organisers, Hobhouse's funeral was the first state funeral held for a woman in South Africa and an exceptional honour for a foreign national right here in Bloemfontein.

Among those who attended the original procession were women and boys who had survived the concentration camps of the Anglo-Boer War, adding particular historical significance to the event.

Hobhouse became internationally recognised for exposing the suffering of women and children in British concentration camps during the war.

For those who don't know, despite facing strong criticism in her home country, she had challenged the British government and documented the conditions experienced by those detained in the camps.

Following the war, Hobhouse continued supporting affected communities through agricultural initiatives and the establishment of 26 spinning and weaving schools.

The centenary commemoration will take place at the War Museum and National Women's Monument, with exhibitions and demonstrations forming part of the programme.

The re-enactment and commemorative proceedings will be broadcast live on kykNET from 11:00 on Saturday.
