Kholumolumo

Kholumolumo In African mythology (Sotho of South Africa), a monster who swallowed all of the people and animals except for one pregnant woman. When the woman gave birth she named her son Moshanyana. He later attacked the monster and easily killed it because it could not move. Then Moshanyana opened up its stomach, letting out all of the people and animals. Though most were pleased, some men
eventually grew envious of Moshanyana and plotted his death. He escaped three times but was killed on the fourth attempt.
