How should we be teaching history to children and should it even be a compulsory subject in schools? Lester Kiewit speaks to Athambile Masola and Xolisa Guzulu, co-authors of “Together Apart: The Story of Living in Apartheid”(Jacana), an illustrated book aimed at a younger audience. Lester also speaks to Casper van Zyl, a school teacher who recently took to social media to debunk the notion that learners are only being taught about a sanitised version of Nelson Mandela.
