Sibebe Survivor

Sibebe Survivor takes place every year in Mbuluzi, Eswatini, and includes a climb to the summit of Sibebe, the world's second-largest single granite monolith. The Sibebe Survivor climb, started by the Rotary Club of Mbabane-Mbuluzi in July 2004, takes participants from Mbuluzi High School to the summit of the rock and back. The number of climbers has grown year after year, reaching about 3,300 in 2011.

People from all over the world are encouraged to participate in the annual climb of Sibebe Rock, which takes place on the final Sunday of July every year. In 2012, an amputee used his wheelchair and crutches to complete the climb. The event raised more than 501 thousand Emalangeni (Swazi money) in 2011, which is almost 50,000 Euros. Participants must bring at least 1 liter of water with them, which will be provided at the start of the climb. The Rotary Club also organizes a pre-hike breakfast and awards diplomas and prizes to participants afterward.

Sibebe Survivor is a prominent social event in Eswatini, as well as a walk. Some events, such as parties at restaurants and clubs, are planned ahead of time. In 2011, for example, the event featured an African night at the Greans Restaurant, where African food was served and guests could participate in drumming. DJ Toxik spun upbeat dance music. A Sibebe Survivor Party with DJ Cybos at House on Fire was one among the numerous other parties held at clubs. Participation in the walk is encouraged through these warm-up events and Facebook adverts.
