ShortDescription:
Ngao Boshwa Kapa Bokoni, the Provincial Heritage Resources Authority established in terms of Section 23 of the National Heritage Resources Act (Act 25 of 1999) and Official Notice 5 of 28 February 2003, hereby and in terms of powers vested in it by virtue of Section 2/'.7 of the National Heritage Resources Act declares Wildebeest Kuil situated on Remainder of Farm Wildebeest Kuil No. 69, in the Sol Plaatje Municipality, Frances Baard District as a Provincial Heritage Site.
FullDescription:
The site has cultural, social, artistic and historical significance. This site consists of a low hill with a high density of rock engravings and associated late stone age debris, concentrated within a relatively small area. More than 400 documented engravings have been identified on the site, one of which is used as the logo of the Provincial Heritage Resources Authority.
The rock art is a good example of that found in the area. According to historical record the site is also associated with Kousop, the last of the San leaders of the area to organise active resistance to Trekboer encroachment.
