Norvalspont is a small town in Pixley ka Seme District Municipality in the Northern Cape province of South Africa.

Boer commandos occupied the Rail transport bridge on 1 November 1899 and successfully invaded the Cape Colony soon after.

As the British people military pushed back, the Boers blasted the railway bridge with explosives, destroying three of its central columns on 5 March 1900.

[4] A few days later, a British engineer had started constructing a pontoon bridge which would allow several soldiers on foot and horseback across the river into the Orange Free State.

This Anglo-Boer War concentration camp was first headed by Lieutenant St John Cole Bowen who later held the office of Resident Magistrate in the Orange River Colony.

Historians have noted that the suggestions by these doctors were frequently done to absolve their own responsibility for the deteriorating hygienic conditions in the camps.

[7] Even a hundred years after the camp existed, where the tents were positioned is still visible because of the original paving made using empty food and milk tins.
