[edit]
Description
This media shows a South African Protected Site with SAHRA file reference 9/2/447/0001.
Afrikaans: Plaket geleë in die midde van die Bloedrivierlaer, met 'n inskrif van die Gelofte 
          DIE GELOFTE
   "MIJNE BROEDERS EN MEDELANDGENOTEN.
   HIER STAAN WIJ TANS OP
   EEN OGENBLIK VOOR EEN HEILIGE GOD
   VAN HEMEL EN AARDE OM EEN
   BELOFTE AAN HEM TE BELOOVEN,
   ALS HIJ MET ZIJN BESCHERMING
   MET ONS SAL WEZEN, EN ONZE VIJAND
   IN ONZE HANDEN ZAL GEVEN
   DAT WIJ HEM OVERWINNEN,
   DAT WIJ DIE DAG EN DATUM ELKE JAAR
   ALS EEN VERJAARDAG EN EEN DANKDAG
   ZOALS EEN SABBAT IN ZIJN EER
   ZULLEN DOORBRENGEN,
   EN DAT WIJ EEN TEMPEL TOT
   ZIJN EER STICHTEN ZULLEN
   WAAR HET HEM ZOU BEHAGEN, EN DAT WIJ HET
   OOK AAN ONZEN KINDEREN ZULLEN ZEGGEN
   DAT ZIJ MET ONS ERIN MOETEN DELEN
   TOT GEDACHTENIS OOK VOOR
   ONZE OPKOMENDE GESLACHTEN.
   WANT DE ERE VAN ZIJN NAAM
   DAARDOOR ZAL VERHEERLIKT WORDEN,
   DAT DE ROEM EN EER VAN OVERWINNING
   AAN HEM SAL WORDEN GEGEVEN."
English: Plaque situated roughly in the middle of where the lager stood during the Battle of Blood River with the Vow taken by the Voortrekkers inscribed on it. The English version of the plaque reads as follows: 
          THE VOW
   "MY BROTHERS AND FELLOW COUNTRYMEN
   WE STAND HERE NOW
   FOR A MOMENT BEFORE A HOLY GOD
   OF HEAVEN AND EARTH TO MAKE
   A PROMISE TO HIM,
   IF HE WOULD GIVE US HIS PROTECTION
   AND BE WITH US, 
   AND GIVE OUR ENEMY INTO OUR HANDS
   SO THAT WE MAY DEFEAT THEM
   WE SHALL PASS THE DAY AND DATE 
   EACH YEAR AS AN ANNIVERSARY AND
   A DAY OF THANKSGIVING IN HIS HONOUR
   LIKE A SABBATH.
   AND WE PROMISE THAT WE SHALL
   BUILD A TEMPLE TO HIS HONOUR
   AS IT SHALL PLEASE HIM, AND THAT
   WE SHALL TELL THIS OUR CHILDREN
   SO THAT THEY MAY SHARE IN THIS WITH US
   TO REMEMBRANCE ALSO FOR
   OUR RISING GENERATIONS
   SO THAT THE GLORY OF HIS NAME
   MAY BE SANCTIFIED THEREBY
   AND THE GLORY AND HONOUR OF VICTORY
   SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO HIM."
