Afrikaans: Brakpan se mynwerkerstaking: Op 9 Maart 1922 is 3 polisiemanne en 4 mynbeamptes by die Brakpan-myne vermoor. Dit was tydens die ernstigste staking wat die land ooit ondervind het. Die mynwerkers was ontevrede oor besnoeiings van die arbeidsmag weens die dalende goudprys en het gemeenskaplik begin staak. Die situasie het so ernstig geword dat Jan Smuts krygswet afgekondig het. Hierdie gedenkteken herinner aan die beamptes wat by die Brakpan-myne gesterf het.
