History

The area was originally a farm named after Voortrekker pioneer Francois Roos.[3] The nature reserve was established in 1985 and further enlarged in 1992 with land from the nearby Westville Prison.[3] The reserve was proclaimed as a national protected area in 2015[4][5], after environmental activists successfully lobbied against development of the land.[2]
