Sibebe Survivor

Initiated by the Rotary Club of Mbabane-Mbuluzi in July 2004, the Sibebe Survivor hike follows a course from Mbuluzi High School to the top of the rock and back.

People from all around the world are motivated to join in the annual climb of Sibebe Rock, which is always scheduled for the last Sunday in July.

The Rotary Club also provides a pre-hike breakfast and presents participants with certificates and prizes afterwards.

The funds raised by the event are used to finance Rotary Foundation projects such as the distribution of wheelchairs and support for government hospitals.

[11] According to the archaeologist Peter Beaumont, some artifacts discovered in the late 20th century in caves of the Sibebe valley also date from the Middle Ages.

They have also financed projects for deaf people, helped provide scholarships for OVCs (Orphans and Vulnerable Children),[16] and supported causes such as breast cancer.

Recognition is given in various categories, such as to the oldest and youngest participants, for cultural distinctions such as “Best National Dress,”,[19] and for the largest team registered by one company.
