The meaning of Whispering Thorns:
The name derived from the Thorn trees that surround the glass chapel, more specifically, the thorns of the Ziziphus mucrota, known as the Buffalo thorn, “blinkbaar wag-’n-bietjie” in Afrikaans and “mphasamhala” in Tsonga. The thorns are spaced along the length of every branch in pairs. One of the pair points robustly outward and forward while the other curves back and inward in the opposite direction. The Nguni African legend says the thorns tell us something about ourselves – that we must look ahead to the future… but we must never forget where we have come from.
