It was discovered in the late nineteenth century by miners who dynamited and excavated
limestone for the making of
cement. Mining stopped during the
Second Boer War and never resumed.
The cave has about 14
stalactite and
stalagmite formations up to 15 metres high, 85% of which are still growing. The 60-metre-deep cave is accessible to visitors by elevator. The cave can be visited as an attraction on its own.[1]
