The Department of Arts and Culture in partnership with Eastern Cape Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture and Oral History Association of South Africa (OHASA) will host the 14th Annual National Oral History conference.

That is information and knowledge crucial to the restoration and sustenance of human dignity of many millions of people which was ravaged by colonialism and apartheid.
The Oral History Conference this year is held under the theme “Oliver Reginald Tambo in memorian: Reminiscing on a Centenary of struggle, true leadership and leadership values of a liberation stalwart”.
