A family taking a stroll in the Mafube Mountain Retreat, between Clarens and Fouriesburg in the Eastern Free State, stumbled across a wonderful treasure today.

Bushman Paintings, Free State

Duncan Irvine, owner of Rapid Blue production company (with hits like Strictly Come Dancing), uploaded a photo to Facebook with this message: “Out for a walk on our farm and our son Josh just found the most amazing Bushman paintings…”
