Activity Introduction

To complement the Nelson Mandela in Cape Town Legacy Exhibition, a supportive education programme has been developed for primary and secondary school learners by the City of Cape Town in partnership with the Nelson Mandela Foundation, Western Cape Government and Responsible Tourism Cape Town. This specific lesson plan consists of 8 relevant activities to introduce young learners to Nelson Mandela and some National Symbols of South Africa.

In Grade 2, under the Life Skills topic “Our country”, learners are introduced to a map of South Africa and should be able to name and locate their own province. They should also have knowledge of the South African flag, including recognising the flag and places where we can see it flying.
