'The history of the four fortresses round Pretoria, of which the restored Fort Klapperkop is one, is intimately interwoven with the political and military past of the South African Republic.

The political friction in the course of 1895 and at the beginning of 1896 which culminated in organised revolt in Johannesburg, was a decisive factor with regard to the construction of the forts.' - from the Introduction
