Historic Environment Education – Vaal River tunnels: The forgotten history of the early days of coal in the Vereeniging area.
Meyer, Louisa; Strauss, Johann
This article describes a part of the history of coal in the Vereeniging area which has,
as far as could be determined, not been documented in detail before. Information
was obtained from written primary and secondary as well as oral sources. In the
article it is also explained how this content can be integrated into Social Sciences,
History and Geography teaching as part of historic environment education.

The value of tours around heritage sites with Melville Koppies as an example.
Carstens, Wendy
Tours enrich and reinforce textbook and classroom history, inspire further study,
and promote an appreciation of past cultures. This paper discusses the value of
guided tours on Melville Koppies, a Nature Reserve and Johannesburg Heritage
Site. Melville Koppies offers evidence of man-made structures and artefacts reflecting
Pre-History from Early Stone Age to Iron Age in this undeveloped pristine reserve
where the natural sciences and social sciences meet. The site includes evidence of
gold mining attempts, the Second Anglo-Boer War and modern history up to present
times. The panoramic view from the top ridges of the Koppies encompasses places of
rich historical interest, of which many, such as Sophiatown and Northcliff Ridge,
were affected by apartheid. Guided tours are tailored to educators’ requirements
and the age of students. These educators usually set their own pre- or post-tour
tasks. The logistical challenges for educators of organising such three-hour tours
are discussed. History, if part of a life-time awareness, is not confined to primary,
secondary or tertiary learners. Further education for visitors of all ages on guided
tours is also discussed.
