SEE & DO - MWALANTHUNZI STONE
The Mwalanthunzi stone, translated as the stone shade, is a meteorite located between Thyolo and Limbe. Its is steeped in local beliefs, one of which is it will guide you on a safe journey when heading North and not South.
It was believed that when the Thyolo road was been constructed as a gateway to Mulanje, construction workers moved the rock, only to find it back in its original location the next day, to which they then decided to crush it, but again it appeared in its exact form and location.
The construction workers then abandoned the road and built on the other side of the rock. Malawians are very superstitious people and respect any myth that is believed to bring devastation to their community if provoked. In every community you will find stories on witch craft and superstition and if you’re lucky you might even see it before your eyes.
