Join us for an Archaeological Society Talk at the KwaZulu-Natal Museum at 10.30 am on Saturday 30th May 2026. The address is 237 Jabu Ndlovu Street, Pietermaritzburg.

In this talk, Dr Laue tackles the rich and complex rock art traditions of the Waterberg in Limpopo province. Her talk draws on her recently published book, together with Lyn Wadley, called 𝑅𝑜𝑐𝑘 𝐴𝑟𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑔: 𝑅𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛.

The book is based on years of fieldwork and explores how Bushman hunter-gatherers, Bantu-speaking farmers, and possibly Khoekhoe herders interacted with one another and engaged with the landscape in the past 2000 years. Ghilraen and Lyn consider how these different communities shared, influenced, and responded to one another’s beliefs and ritual practices.

They pay particular attention to initiation ceremonies, altered states of consciousness, transformation, and the spiritual dimensions of hunting.

This year’s Africa Day celebration at the KwaZulu-Natal Museum featured a focused reflection on Griqua culture, heritage, and experiences of dispossession under colonialism and Apartheid.

The event highlighted the importance of preserving and sharing Griqua histories, with particular attention to identity, land, and cultural continuity in the context of historical disruption. The discussions aimed to deepen public understanding of South Africa’s layered past while creating space for meaningful dialogue and learning.

Two of the KZN Museum's Council members, Troy Meyers and Chaivaque Pienaar, presented insightful talks as part of the programme, with their contributions complemented by additional speakers, who offered a range of perspectives on Griqua heritage and its relevance in contemporary South Africa.

A day filled with education, exploration, and meaningful conversations as the KwaZulu-Natal Museum inspired local communities to make impactful changes during International Day of Biological Diversity celebrations.

Celebrated under the theme, "𝑨𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒈𝒍𝒐𝒃𝒂𝒍 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒕" this year's Biodiversity celebrations saw not one but two events in which the Museum actively engaged with learners on the importance of protecting our environment and preserving biodiversity for future generations.

𝐈𝐧-𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭:

The KZN Museum, in collaboration with the University of KwaZulu-Natal STEC, Ground Truth, YMAD NPO, and Task Force Rhino, welcomed Grade 6 and 7 learners from various local primary schools at the Museum to commemorate Biodiversity Day. Through interactive activities, engaging presentations, and exciting competitions, learners were encouraged to become active stewards of nature and conservation.

Congratulations to the competition winners:

2nd Place — Georgedale Primary School

3rd Place — Maria Memorial

The KZN Museum also attended an outreach event at Siyanda Secondary School, hosted by SANBI Pietermaritzburg. Researchers Dr Kirsten Williams and Mr Matabaro Ziginira from the Museum's Natural Sciences Department engaged with Grade 10 and 11 learners, providing a deeper understanding of biodiversity and how the research conducted at the Museum helps sustain it.

A heartfelt thank you to our valued partners for making this celebration impactful, educational, and memorable. Together, we continue to inspire communities to appreciate, protect, and preserve the natural world around.
