What really happened to the gold that went missing from the mint in Pretoria two years before the end of the Boer War? Did President Paul Kruger remove it ahead of the British occupation? Is it buried somewhere en-route to Mozambique? Pretoria, May 1900 British forces are advancing, Johannesburg has fallen and the Boers do not have the troops to prevent Lord Roberts from capturing Pretoria. A decision is taken not to defend Pretoria at all costs and to save her from bombardment. President Kruger however cannot be allowed to be captured nor can the Boers allow the gold from the mint to fall into British hands, for that would surely end the war.
