The area was subsequently renamed Voortrekkerhoogte ("Voortrekker Heights") in 1939 by the government of the Union of South Africa , following the beginning of the building of the nearby Voortrekker Monument , at a time of growing Afrikaner nationalism . On 19 May 1998, following the end of apartheid , it was renamed again, as Thaba Tshwane.[4]
