Chingwe’s Hole on Zomba Plateau Gallery


Title: Chingwe’s Hole on Zomba Plateau

Description: Is a dark vertical hole on the northwestern edge of Zomba Plateau. Its depth has not been determined as it is very dangerous to go down the shaft. The name is derived from a notorious traditional authority (chief) who used the hole as a damp place for lepers, criminals (both dead and live), deformed babies and other unwanted people in the society.
