Devil's Tooth collapses

The iconic Devils Tooth, a well-know peak at the Amphitheatre, has finally collapsed. Reports from hikers on Tuesday afternoon, 29 March, could only be verified on Wednesday due to the mist.  Details are not entirely clear at this point how and when it happened exactly, but it is believed that a massive landslide on the southern slopes of the peak weakened it's base, causing it to topple over and fall down the slopes leading to the Busingata Valley below. The landslide was triggered by recent heavy rainfall in the region.

This legendary peak will truly be missed in the Drakensberg.

EDIT: Please note that this is an April Fool's joke!
