Annual Legacy Events

Select a year:

The Number 43 Trelawney Park kwaMagogo Legacy Project is a product of a very successful publication of the same title, in 2007. The Legacy Project primarily gives ownership to the total liberation of the continent, affords a platform to recognise and provide knowledge on the contribution of the peoples of the Southern African region and the world.

Number 43 Trelawney Park is a house situated in Swaziland that has strong links to South Africa’s struggle history for freedom. The house is rich in history and heritage both in a political sense as well as a portrait of a South African family in a postcolonial Swaziland. The Number 43 Trelawney Park Legacy Project is initiated and run by the Number 43 Trelawney Park kwaMagogo Foundation.

At the heart of this Momentous Celebration is the inherent obligation to recognise those who led the way, took up the spear and blazed the path to today’s South Africa – Amahlahlandlela. This is an isiZulu word, meaning pioneers. There is no doubt that this celebration reaches and touches everyone both in the region and beyond. We have no doubt that you would want to be a part of it.

This pioneering spirit, drove people, including the architects of Number 43, more than fifty years ago – namely, uButhongo and uMakgomo Masilela, when they left South Africa protesting against Bantu Education and settled at Number 43. As history would have it, their relocation from South Africa would provide an important and strategic outpost for the liberation movement against the sinister apartheid regime.

In this regard, the Number 43 Trelawney Park Foundation seeks your support towards hosting this historical event. The event offers invaluable exposure and networking opportunities for all participants. Over the years it has been running, it developed untold amount of networking opportunities, both in social and commercial terms.

The Legacy Project will continue to partner with organisations with similar goals and values.
