On the last Thursday of each month, from February to November, SASHT hosts an online webinar. We aim to invite academics, historians, heritage professionals, and history teachers to share their experience and insights. Some sessions offer extension opportunities for teachers, while others provide practical tips for classroom practice.
We are registering with SACE as a Professional Development service provider, and will send a certificate of attendance after each webinar if requested.
We are pleased to announce that Dr Mojuta Steven Motlhamme will deliver our seventh SASHT webinar presentation for 2026, titled: Lucas Mangope, Bophuthatswana and the Teaching of Controversial Topics in History Education.
