Ditsong Paul Kruger House

Paul Kruger House The Ditsong Kruger Museum is in Pretoria. It was named after President Paul Kruger, the South African Republic president from 1883 to 1900.

The museum is housed in his former residence, which was built in 1884. The building was declared a national monument in 1936 and later converted into a museum in 1937.

The Ditsong Kruger Museum has a wide range of exhibitions that showcase South Africa's history and culture. The museum's exhibitions are divided into different categories, including the political history of South Africa, the Boers, the history of the Anglo-Boer War, and Pretoria.

Another fascinating exhibition is the political history exhibition, which showcases the political history of South Africa from the colonial period to the present day. Visitors can view documents, photographs, and artifacts related to the political movements that have shaped South African history.

The museum also has an exhibition that focuses on the history of Pretoria. This exhibition showcases the city's development from its founding in 1855 to the present day. Visitors can see how the city has grown and evolved.

1998 - 2002: CSIR VR Centre

csir vr centreA time spent introducing VR to both industry and state organisations across South and Southern Africa, working through the ten CSIR Divisions. This was also a time of musing and reflection, looking at how could VR, impact on education, training and learning, and especially so in Africa. Delving into this was truly innovative at the time, with acknowledgement also being given to the inputs of Dr RS Day, then of the CSIR Meraka Institute.
