Apartheid created a rift in South African political regime from 1948 to 1994 which was a painful time for the country. Based on the sufferings of those times, the musuem was given the name “Kwamuhle” which is a Zulu term that refers to “the place of the good one”. The name was given in honor of its first manager, Mr Marwick who helped approx. 7000 Zulu people flee during the Anglo-Boer War. The display at the Museum includes photographs and videos, as well as items from South African culture in the olden days. This musuem has been curated in a holistic way to represent the human spirit and gives a strong message of determination to survive, no matter what. In order to explore the culture of the city, you can visit the Durban Art Gallery and the eThekwini City Hall.
