Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

An unspecified cave entrance (unidentified shape, unidentified dimensions, unidentified orientation, unidentified characteristics) is said to give access to penetrable gaps between gravitationally dislocated limestone boulders. ETYMOLOGY: No locally known cave name has been identified for this talus cave (note 1). SITUATION: According to Harper (2008.02.08: Cave no. 11.pdf), a local guide [is] essential to explain the whereabouts of this cave entrance, which lies at the south-west end of a doline somewhere near Asakgre. The recorded GPS position (note 2) indicates a spot that lies only 147.2 m in a direct line approximately west-southwest (–123.3 m east, –80.4 m north) from the entrance to –>Bokbema Cave (N25°21'45.7”: E090°31'42.2”) in the Chibanda area (note 3). CAVE DESCRIPTION: An entrance in fallen boulders at the south-west end of a doline leads to a loose descending boulder slope which chokes after estimated 25 m (Harper, H 2008.02.08 Mss: Cave no. 11).An unspecified cave entrance (unidentified shape, unidentified dimensions, unidentified orientation, unidentified characteristics) is said to give access to penetrable gaps between gravitationally dislocated limestone boulders.
