Ladysmith Siege Museum
During the Anglo-Boer War, Ladysmith was besieged for 118 days,
when thousands died, either during battle, or from the lack of food
and water. The museum is considered to be one of the best
Anglo-Boer War museums in the country, with a collection of
artefacts, documents, firearms and uniforms on display, as well as
a series of excellent photographs, which vividly tells the story of
the siege of Ladysmith that involved numerous battles between the
Boer and British forces.

Money
South Africa's currency is the Rand (ZAR), which is divided into
100 cents. Money can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily
limit for cash withdrawals) and major international credit cards
are widely accepted, except in petrol stations where cash is
required. Visitors should be vigilant when drawing cash from ATMs,
as con artists are known to operate there. Travellers cheques and
some foreign currencies are accepted at larger hotels and shops,
but commission is charged, otherwise all commercial banks will
exchange them.
