Encyclopedia > Inkanyamba

The Inkanyamba is supposedly a sea serpent type creature living in a waterfall lake area in the northern forests near Cape Town, South Africa. Old natives of the area feared and worshipped the creature. For many years natives would push a virgin off the waterfall to her death to appease the beast. This tradition is acted out every year by actors as a tourist attraction.
