This South African vehicle is an interesting contrast to the Prairie Schooners of the American West.
Although used for the pioneer migrations in the same times, it is more closely related to the old European waggons.
A distinctive feature is that the sides and floor both dismantle from the body- a necessity when manhandling the vehicle over the Drakensburg mountains on the trek north.
The carving of the spokes and body standards is directly derived from the Dutch folk designs.
