Mpongweni (Sipongweni) North Shelter is in the Cobham area.
Mpongweni North Shelter is a must visit if you are interested in Bushman Paintings. It's a long uphill hike of about 6 hours to the site but well worth the visit. Probably best to overnight and make this a 2 day trip.
Interpretation by Celeste Rossouw: Women in procession with digging sticks. Bushman hunter-gatherers made their weapons, equipment, ornaments and jewellery with stone, bone and wood. The digging stick was made from a strong stick to which a large bored stone was attached with a wedge. The stone added weight and gave momentum when the women were digging to obtain roots and bulbs.
