Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, Execution Rock

Execution Rock: This historic rock, situated within Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, is traditionally where Swaziland's criminals were executed. Once they were marched to the top, they could choose to either jump from it's summit with dignity or be helped along with spears. Its African name is Nyonyane which means 'little bird' and poetically describes with horrifying beauty how these poor souls appeared as they plummeted to their deaths.
