Demolished or destroyed.

Mostert's Mill is a historic windmill in Mowbray, Cape Town, South Africa, built in 1796. It is the oldest surviving complete windmill in the country. A wildfire on 18 April 2021 almost completely destroyed it, but it was fully restored by April 2024 and is once again operational, grinding wheat into whole meal using wind power.
