About This Attraction
The Nompendulo High School Massacre occurred in 1985 in Zwelitsha. Nompendulo High pupils had a 3-day peaceful protest, demanding the right to have a democratically elected representative council, libraries and free textbooks among other things.
More than 900 pupils were beaten and chased out of the school and that ended with the death of four learners who drowned at Buffalo River, about 400m away from the school.
