Another large rock art site has been discovered near Platfontein in the Northern Cape, causing lots of excitement in the anthropology circles.


The latest discovery was made at Wildebeestkuil outside Kimberley on a farm owned by the !Xun and Khwe communities.

The site is a few kilometres from another well-known site.

The Northern Cape is blessed with a number of rock art sites.

The rock art is believed to be messages left by nomadic San tribes about animals found in the area.
