Once known as the three sisters, and the chief and his three wives – the flat-topped peak represented Mapjaneng, famous for opposing invading Swazis in a memorable battle is on the right, whilst the Rondavels are three of his more troublesome wives – Magabolle, Mogoladikwe and Maseroto.But I guess the present name is more apt as the mounds of rock are similar in shape to the huts the indigenous people used to build which were called,you guessed it Rondavels
