Qwaqwa

Qwaqwa lies in the high country beneath the Drakensberg. Its name, of San origin, evokes the whiteness of the mountain peaks. San communities lived in the shelter of the escarpment, leaving paintings and drawings of animals, plants and weapons on the rock. By the 1830s the Bakholokoe under Wetsie occupied the area, bringing another chapter to a landscape already inhabited long before their arrival.
