National Congress Church

In the village of De Rust, in the Old Location, about 500 km east of Cape Town, I spotted a derelict Church on a hill. What was it? I found a man who told me that his mother once worshiped there -- it had been the National Congress Church, he said. I found a way in through the vestry (behind the camera) -- which was now being used to raise chicks. OBSERVATION: I have no knowledge of a "National Congress Church". Perhaps its history is entwined with the famous National Congresses of the Dutch Reformed Church. I loved the wood.
