Perhaps these people are on to something: we remain a divided nation, maybe what we all need is a touch of unity.

But what about partying on such hallowed grounds?

Sangoma and Celtic druid/wizard Stuart Snawrquitrafretis Turquoise Mathoka Davies, who has been working in and around sacred sites in Mpumalanga since 2016, says: We can see so many beautiful geological phenomena when we enter into places like Barberton, when we delve deeper and begin to unfold potentialities and stories of what could have happened in the Barberton crater. Whether it was a volcanic incident, whether it was a meteoric incident, whether this was a connection to our ancient ancestors in the stars this is something that is up to the individual to decide, and for the individual to experience through connecting with the sacred places on this land.
