Residents of Maphophe village, outside Malamulele in Limpopo, believe they may have stumbled upon a great discovery.

They have discovered what they call “rocks of wonders” that could date back to the Stone Age. The rocks have human footprints and other creative carvings on them.

The rocks have a story to tell about what happened Maphophe many centuries ago. They have markings such as human footprints and small holes which look like those of an indigenous chess game, known as “morabaraba”.A local researcher says the government should send a team to investigate what happened at the place centuries ago and possibly turn it into a heritage site.

The place is now home to Tsakani Shivambu who found the place in the late 1990s. She says ever since, she has looked after the rocks, and ensured that they are well preserved and not destroyed. Limpopo Arts and Culture Department Spokesperson Kenny Mathivha says the community should assist the Provincial Heritage Council to ensure that proper research is done about this site.
