The Mystery Lounge

Kruger Millions


Listen Later

A vanished fortune and a century-old mystery. Grab a seat in the lounge as we tackle the mystery of the Kruger Millions mystery. 

In this episode, we delve into the legend of the Kruger Millions—a rumored hoard of gold allegedly hidden by South African President Paul Kruger during the Second Boer War. Did Kruger smuggle millions in gold out of the country as British forces closed in? Did other people steal it before it could be hidden? Could it still buried somewhere in the veld of South Africa, waiting to be discovered?

With all kinds of anecdotes and stories, this is one of the challenging mysteries to even get down to the actual facts of what could have happened to the gold. 

Join us as we separate fact from folklore in one of history’s most enduring treasure mysteries.
