  1. It is also known as Maitland cemetery:

    This is all I can find about the Maitland Cemetery:

    Maitland Cemetery

    This is the largest cemetery in Cape Town, covering 100ha. The first burial took place on 16 January 1886, and it is now nearing capacity. Plans are therefore in place to develop a Mausoleum.

    Maitland is the last resting place of many prominent South Africans as well as victims of the 1918 Flu Epidemic.

    The Commonwealth War of Graves Commission maintains the Military Allotment, where fallen soldiers from the World Wars are buried. There is also a section for the victims of the South African War (1899-1902)

    The Roman Catholic Church has erected a chapel for use of its members and the Jewish Community are accommodated at Gate Eight.

  2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolraad_Wol...

    Try this.

  3. Google!

  4. You will not find the true story of old Wolraad on wikipedia or in history books from the apartheid era.
