EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of education and community at Ebuhleni School, nestled at the foot of the Ngoye Hills near Eshowe in the Natal Province of South Africa. Founded in the 1890s by English Catholic priest Father David Bryant, Ebuhleni was a mission school that aimed to provide education to the local African population. The image, dated circa 1923, depicts a group of teachers and pupils gathered in front of the school buildings, surrounded by lush trees and the rolling hills in the background. The teachers, dressed in their Sunday best, are seen wearing pith helmets and carrying umbrellas, while the pupils, dressed in their school uniforms, are seated on the ground or standing attentively. The presence of the cross on the school building is a testament to the Catholic influence on the institution. The scene exudes a sense of unity and determination, as the community comes together to seek knowledge and improve their lives. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the educational landscape of South Africa during the 1920s.
