ANOTHER LEGEND ................TABLE MOUNTAIN

According to African legend Qamata created the world.

However, Nganyamba - a mighty old dragon who sleeps under the sea - tried to prevent Qamata from creating dry land. To help him against Nganyamba, Djobela, the one-eyed earth goddess, cast a spell and created four giants, one each to guard the north, south, east and west.

Many battles raged and eventually the giants were defeated. Before dying they asked Djobela to turn them into mountains so they could continue their work.

The Watcher of the South - Umlindi Wemingizimu - became Table Mountain.
