Earthquake Natural Disaster

On 29 September 1969 the town of Tulbagh and surroundings experienced a natural disaster in the form of an earthquake. The earthquake had a magnitude of 6.3 Mw and forced many families to restart their lives.

These two pictures were taken on 29 September 2022 by Siviwe Gwatyu, the Administrative Assistant at Lingomso Primary School together with his Principal, Mr. Mphunga. This gesture is aimed at educating the community of Chris Hani about a natural disaster that took place in this town before the existence of these settlements as well as the school as mentioned herein above.
