"Endless stone circles, set in bewildering mazes and linked by long stone passages, cover the landscape stretching from Ohrigstad to Carolina, connecting over 10,000 square kilometres of the escarpment into a complex web of stone-walled homesteads, terraced fields and linking roads." (witspress, 2014)
In mid 2014, Prof Peter Delius of Witwatersrand University alongside Peter Schoemann and Tim Maggs published a book telling the story of this landscape. Together, Delius (Professor of History) and archaeology lecturers Maggs and Schoeman have pieced together the history and society of the Koni people.
