          hundreds of San rock paintings of eland, rain animals and dancing
          people, some of them thousands of years old. Because of its outstanding
          importance to the whole country, the site has been graded as a heritage site
          of national significance and is managed by SAHRA.
          However, the site is under threat. Visitors have scratched their names into
          the rock and some have splashed water on the paintings to make them
          look brighter for photographs. Cattle shelter against the rock face and rub
          against the paintings, and rain water runs down the walls during storms.
