Current and Upcoming Events

	On 19 April 2008, the museum opened an exhibition on labour migrancy and forced removals as part of the heritage ambassador programme it had run in partnership together with the District Six Museum. The programme trains local learners at schools to become guides and enhances their knowledge of the museum.

Women's Month In August every year the Lwandle Migrant Labour Museum organizes a special event to commemorate Women’s Month. The museum has appointed leading women in the community as ambassadors for the museum and its activities. In 2007 these women ambassadors opened the doors to Hostel 33 as it formally became a part of the museum. With the assistance of photographs from their younger years they told stories of when they had lived the hostels and re-enacted elements of their lives from those times.

	Open Mic Sessions Every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evening young and upcoming artists from the community are given a platform by the museum to polish their skills in Hip Hop, Ragga Spaza music and poetry. Though not strictly professional these artists are proud of their performances and their rhythms. You can come and see and listen to the likes of BK for Big King, Pro Sono, F2 from Amathemba Omboko, Levi, and Isa. Come one day and see a performance from the museum manager himself.

Ballroom Dancing Every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, from 16h00 to 18h00, members of the Siluncedo Arts Production members rehearse at the museum. One of their productions is about hostel life in South Africa.

Past Events

The museum in February 2008, together with Springbok Atlas Safaris and Ishabi Tourism organised an international football match between Killester United from Dublin and TK Lions from Lwandle. This was part of a transformative tourism initiative. A report on the event indicated that 'the results were magical. 25 working class Irish blokes see reflections of themselves in the faces and places of an African township half a world away' http://afrikatourism.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html TK Lions is the oldest soccer team in Lwandle. It was established in 1959 by former migrant workers from Transkei, hence the name of the team, TK Lions. You can also see a video on the day in a SABC TV news report on the match. http://afrikatourism.blogspot.com/2008/04/lwandle-township-soccer-update.html.
