Legend of Nyaminyami…

Howick, set at the heart of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, has long been on the tourist map for its spectacular falls, where the Umgeni River drops 99 metres into a gorge below. Many stop off at the falls to admire the view, but few tourists know about Inkanyamba. Inkanyamba, according to the Zulu people, is a snake-like creature with a head similar to that of a horse. He is said to live in the turbulent waters at the base of the Howick Falls and many believe only sangomas can approach the pool without being attacked by the creature. Inkanyamba is, according to tradition, very active during the summer months and his anger is associated with many of the destructive storms. It’s said he takes to the skies to find a mate or to defend his territory and when he sees a shiny roof on the earth, he thinks it is a body of water. When he gets closer and realizes he has been tricked, he takes his revenge by tearing the roofs off houses, uprooting trees and sending gale-force winds and hail.

The Ghost of Uniondale…..

She is probably South Africa’s most well known highway ghost. On our recent vacation, we passed through Uniondale and we were told the following story, the inhabitants swear it is true: The story starts on the evening of 12th April 1968 when a recently engaged couple, Maria Roux and G.M. Pretorius were travelling from Graaf Reinet to Riversdal. They however never made their destination , Pretorius lost control of the vehicle just outside Uniondale and they were involved in a horrible accident. Pretorius was injured and when the wreck was found by a local farmer the next morning Maria was dead. A few years later, in 1976 motorists started seeing a woman in white alongside the road where the accident took place. Some motorists picked her up, minutes later they would hear a shrill laugh , the sound of a door closing and an icy chill would be felt inside the car......

The Lamp

From: Justin Flecker Date: Sunday 6 May 2012 6.52pm To: David Thorne Subject: Lamp I received your note but you cant go onto other peoples property and take things, that's trespassing. Massanutten is a wooded area and I installed that light for security. It's a safety issue. I can't help it if some of the light goes across the road, close your curtains if it bothers you. From: David Thorne Date: Sunday 6 May 2012 7.41pm To: Justin Flecker Subject: Re: Lamp Hello Justin, Thank you for your email. While I accept that curtains are usually the key to community accord, in this instance they would need to be constructed of eight-inch-thick lead sheeting. Last night, with my curtains closed and bedside light off, I read a book. Wearing sunglasses. Under a blanket.......
