Ngome apparitions
Between 22 August 1955 and 2 May 1971 Benedictine Sister Reinolda May reported ten visions of Mary in the Ngome forest of KwaZulu-Natal, as 'Tabernacle of the Most High'.

The account
Mary is said to have asked for a shrine with seven springs. In the 1990s the diocese recognised Ngome as a place of prayer, and it is now among southern Africa's most visited pilgrimage sites.
The sceptical view
The Church recognised the shrine for prayer without ruling the visions supernatural.
