On Thursday 1 October South African, Zola Mkumla, visited Braintree Sixth Form for a Q and A session with Year 12 history students.
The students are studying a module on Apartheid history and resistance to it with a particular emphasis on the impact of the legislation passed. Zola helped students to understand the realities of the policy and how destructive and devastating the impact was. He managed to take what is taught in class and put a face to it, bringing a personal a perspective to it.
Students were really appreciative of the opportunity and described it as an ‘emotional eye opener’. Overall it was a huge educational success as well as an enriching opportunity.
