Ditsong Cultural Museum
Through a range of ongoing and one-time exhibitions, The DITSONG: National Museum of Cultural History investigates the cultural variety of South Africa. All areas of the Gauteng Province may readily be reached by road to the museum, which is housed in the historic South African Mint building behind Pretoria City Hall. The collection of the museum includes objects such as excavated archaeological material and artworks, historical documents, archives, various current and historical audiovisuals, Stone Age, Iron Age and historic archaeology sites, historical buildings, and early domesticated animals.
On April 1, 1999, the Transvaal Museum for Natural History in Pretoria and the South African National Museum of Military History merged to become the Northern Flagship Institution, replacing the DITSONG: National Museum of Cultural History. After a name change in April 2010, the the National Financial Institution was renamed as DITSONG Museums of South Africa. A board and a chief executive officer oversee DITSONG, replacing the three independent prior museum boards

A 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.
