Tshikosi Primary School visits the KwaZulu-Natal Museum

Under the leadership of its principal, Mr Humbulani D. Siṱhagu, Tshikosi Primary School takes annual educational excursions in order to equip learners with a more practical learning resource to enhance their CAPS curriculum. Recently, the school, which hails from the deep rural mountainous village of Dzimauli Ha-Rambuḓa, Limpopo Province, visited the KwaZulu-Natal Museum as one of their main attractions during their trip to Durban and Pietermaritzburg.

At arrival, a group of 40, including leaners, teachers and their School Governing Body (SGB), was warmly welcomed by the museum’s fabulous team of tour guides who took them through various, galleries, including birds, primates, mammals, invertebrates, marine world, human evolution, hunter-gatherers, African farmers, African art, and the history hall.

What seemed special for them was when they were greeted and joined by one of the museum’s archaeologists, Mr Mudzunga Munzhedzi, who happens to be an alumni of the same school, but never had an opportunity to visit a museum and interact with an archaeologist while at the school. Mudzunga gave them a special tour of the archaeology displays.
