Mashatile to honour top achievers at Vincent Tshabalala Education Trust Annual Bursary Awards ceremony:

Thursday, January 30, 2025

Deputy President Paul Mashatile will on Friday honour top-achieving learners, as well as their schools and teachers from the Matric Class of 2024, at the Vincent Tshabalala Education Trust Annual Bursary Awards.

The Deputy President has served as the Chairperson of the Vincent Tshabalala Education Trust since its establishment in 2004 and currently holds the position of patron. 

This non-profit organisation (NPO) has awarded bursaries to numerous learners and university students, many of whom have made significant contributions to the development and growth of the Alexandra community and beyond.

The Deputy President’s late friend and comrade, Vincent Tshabalala, was a founder of the Alexandra Youth Congress (AYCO) and a member of the ANC’s military wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe. 

Tshabalala lost his life in a confrontation with the apartheid police in Alexandra in 1985.

Today, hundreds of learners from Alexandra high schools have been awarded bursaries. Some of those who have completed their studies are now chartered accountants, engineers, information technology specialists, lawyers, lecturers, and auditors.

The awards ceremony will be held at San Kopano Community Hall, located on 12th Avenue in Alexandra Township, Johannesburg. – SAnews.gov.za

Museum Africa: Art Collection

The museum’s collection is staggering, housing approximately 850,000 objects that range from the prehistoric to the contemporary. It is one of the few institutions that attempts to tell the story of Southern Africa from the Stone Age to the nuclear age. The “Johannesburg Transformations” exhibition is the museum’s centerpiece, dragging the visitor through the chaotic evolution of the city. It doesn’t shy away from the grime; it features detailed reconstructions of “shack life,” the illegal “shebeens” (speakeasies) of the 1950s, and the vibrant but overcrowded “backyard rooms” that defined the black urban experience during Apartheid. One of its most sobering permanent displays is the “Tried for Treason” exhibit, which meticulously documents the 1956 Treason Trial. Visitors can see the portraits of all 156 accused—including Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, and Albertina Sisulu—and read the “little red books” placed beneath each photo, where the public is invited to write their own reflections and facts about these liberation icons.

Deep within the museum’s labyrinthine halls, you’ll find specialized branches that are world-class in their own right. The Bensusan Museum of Photography sits on the top floor, acting as a shrine to the visual history of the continent. It contains everything from rare 19th-century daguerreotypes to the legendary photojournalism of the Drum magazine era. Meanwhile, the Geology Museum houses over 17,000 specimens, including a definitive collection of the rocks and minerals that made Johannesburg possible. It is a place where you can see the actual gold-bearing conglomerate reefs of the Witwatersrand up close, stripped of their commercial value and presented as scientific wonders.
