A brilliant experience for scholars and adults alike. The thoroughly engaging interactive tour, presented by the immensely knowledgable and witty Brian, made for an excellent excursion for our learners. Every item in the exhibition was described in such a way as to make it easy for every learner to understand. All the elements in the exhibit were presented in a carefully-considered manner, respectful of the people who were the reason for this educational tour, namely, the indigenous people of South Africa.

In addition to the museum tour, our learners did the Ochre Workshop, organised and presented by Dr Tammy Hodgskiss, with the assistance of some of her students. Our learners discovered that powdered ochre, blended with honey and water, was the paint used on the walls of caves. They ground and blended their own ochre paint and then got to paint their own artwork. This hands-on experience was a superb culmination to what was an outstanding experience that all high school learners should have, especially as it contributes to a clearer understanding of rock art as a part of South African traditional culture.

Well done, Wits!
