At winter school, the aim is to add to an already acquired knowledge and to prepare for forthcoming exams. For two students representing Makana Municipality, winter school came with a difference.
 

At winter school, the aim is to add to an already acquired knowledge and to prepare for forthcoming exams. For two students representing Makana Municipality, winter school came with a difference.
 

Anelisa Deliwe, a grade eleven learner at TEM Mrwetyana High School and Thulani Lombo, a grade ten learner at Nombulelo Senior Secondary School, were selected to attend a  winter school camp which ran from the 12 to 21 June.

The camp was hosted by the Nelson Mandela Museum in Mthatha. In its sixth year, the camp centred around activities of culture, relationships, diversity and career development as well as taking travels to Bloemfontein, to visit the National Museum, Queenstown to visit the Heritage Sites and King William’s Town to visit the Steve Biko Sites.

There was a basic introduction to arts, which involved music, fine arts, craft, dance and photography. According to Nelson Mandela Museum’s programme officer Bongiwe Qotoyi, the aim of the camp is to engage the youth and take the museum to the people.

“I feel that voices are easily heard when you engage students and we are inspired by the youth of 1976,” she said.

The camp selects three pupils from each of the nine provinces, in so doing, they follow local municipalities and areas that former President, Nelson Mandela, visited.

The museum also has links with the Albany Museum and last year they had a travelling exhibition at the museum.

Lombo, who was selected from the Khanya Maths and Science Weekend School, hosted by the Albany Natural Sciences Museum, said that the camp was fun and it taught him concepts like self confidence and, how to deal with people from different backgrounds and cultures.

Deliwe, who was selected by her teachers on the strengths of her Maths and Physical Science marks, enjoyed learning about Nelson Mandela and Steve Biko, the different languages of South Africa and the diski dance. “We were proud to represent Makana Municipality,” she said.
