Domboshaba Ruins

The Domboshaba Ruins are located in the municipal area, which is assigned importance as the defended center of a pre-colonial kingdom with extensive trade relations. Near a well, sheltered by two large rocks, rock carvings have been preserved. Two giraffes in dark red, one of them outlined in white, further elephants, some beetles and other figures, some red and some in ocher yellow. The graphics are attributed to the San (people) of the Neolithic Age , from whom arrowheads were collected and ostrich egg shells were found in the area
