Most of the things in this little place are of paramount importance as they act as clues of guidance on where the people used to live and how they lived their lives back then. Boskuil is a small farm and it has lots of diamond mines that bury the evidence at times. Rock engravings are found in this place and are of animals as well as human beings. The site needs to be cleaned in order to get clear pictures and clear discoveries.Purpose:Date Unveiled: 1800sDesigner: The king's tribeBuilder: The king's tribePerson/Institution Commemorated: King MaquaRecorder Name: Obakeng Magae,keleabetswe Thipampenu and kagiso mlandu(North west)
