Cape Dutch facades can be somewhat duplicated by hand made removable plywood forms. The forms are shaped and poured inplace with concrete, than removed after curing, a smooth wall will be the end result. The banding, scrolls that outline the facade are built freehand using portland cement products that will be compatible with the poured in place wall. It is a time consuming project and worth the time and energy another method would be using the conventional stick frame stucco wall method, three coat application of portland cement on the exterior walls, consisting of a scratch coat, brown coat, and a finish coat. The banding, scrolls that outline the facades are also built and shaped freehand using portland cement products. This is a proven method, I built such a structure on the Mississippi Gulf Coast with great success.

Why when did the cape warthog became extinct?
The extinction of the Cape warthog can be attributed largely to two factors. Firstly with the expansion of the Cape Colony the demand for pig meat would have risen so drastically that they would have been exterminated in the regions nearest the Fort (Cape Town) soon after the arrival of the Dutch colonists. They were already extinct in Namaqualand prior to the settlement at the Cape and it is suggested by some that this population was exterminated by the Khoikhoi and San people, although this might be somewhat contradictory as others hold that the Khoikhoi and San strongly rejected pig meat. For the drier karoid regions it would have been easier to eradicate as they were probably more thinly distributed in those regions. Secondly, after all the heavy persecutions on their population, the remaining animals were exterminated by the Rinderpest epidemic in 1896. To close, the Cape Warthog, like most of the other South African mammals who had restricted distributions (e.g. Cape lion, Cape black rhino, Quagga and Blue antelope), suffered greatly under the persecutions of man and his weapon.
