This pole intervention is on the corner of Sabie and Barry Hertzog, Emmarentia.
The story goes that Paul Kruger despised Johannesburg, and when he had to visit the city, he refused to enter. He camped with his entourage on the hill across from this pole, today part of the Melville Koppies. There he received his visitors (the English) and conducted the necessary negotiations. This specific koppie is still known today amongst the older residents as "Oom Paul se Kop." The name can be seen on the stone on Rustenburg Road.
