This flat carved stone lies close to a dust road in Mpumalanga. It is beautifully engraved with concentric circle motifs and is clearly as old as Moses – if not older.
Yet, for all its beauty and cultural value, it will probably be broken up, crushed and used for infill on the new housing projects that are popping up around the area. This stone relic has a long and noble history but its track record over the last fifty years is anything but noble and its future is bleak indeed.
