Robben Island Museum  Programme Unit personnel visited our Museum recently on an exchange mission. They  joined members of the School-based Heritage Forums when they visited local heritage sites which were identified by  learners from schools around Pietermaritzburg.

The 2006 commemoration of the Bhambatha Rebellion enriched the lives of learners, educators and the public in many ways.

To remember this episode of great historical significance, Sabalala Nolwazi members were encouraged to read the series of  supplements of the Rebellion published by The Witness. 18 members took advantage of the opportunity to read the collection and were rewarded with a tour of historical sites which have links with the Bhambatha story in Greytown.
