On Saturday, 19 September 2026, Hambrook Community Hall, in the neighbouring village where our staff hail from, was filled with a different kind of energy. Grade 12 learners, emerging farmers, unemployed community members, local entrepreneurs and their neighbours came together for the inaugural Hambrook Skills Expo, organised through a partnership between Three Tree Hill Foundation and The Good News Company NPO.
Revealing some misconceptions
Posted by Cheryl on Mon June 26, 2023 in History.
Join Dr Robert (Rob) Davidson at the National Army Museum as he reveals some misconceptions about the Spioenkop Campaign.
Rob grew up in KwaZulu Natal and has spent the past 40 years visiting the sites of the battles of the Upper Tugela River, interviewing people and researching information for his book, The Spioenkop Campaign.
