The School is known as the “Miracle School.” The school started ten years ago because of one person that wanted to serve her community. The principal, Victoria Mangqwengqwe, started the school with nothing and developed it into an educational centre that received the Education Department National Teaching Award for Excellence in Grade R during 2011 (Western Cape region).

Approximately 150 preschool children attend the school of which about 120 children are attending Reception Year and 30 younger children. Although the medium of instruction at the school is IsiXhosa, the school would like to pilot the implementation of the Reading Eggs programme for one class in English (approximately 30 children). If the program works effectively and is to the advantage of the children, the school would consider expanding the Reading Eggs program to the other classes in the preschool, aftercare and to the Phakamani women.

The school is popular with international volunteers who would also be able to assist the classroom teacher with the implementation of Reading Eggs.

He worked in that field until 1988 and has been sculpting for the past 20 years.

38 39 Ellerman House is distinguished from other fine hotels in South Africa by the Ellerman House Art collection. The grand collection of fine art is based on the sound principle of acquiring works of unquestionable quality.

Ellerman House has spent the last decade assembling a substantial collection of South African artwork. The originals span from the turn of the last century to current day works - from the 1910 Volschenk of an undeveloped Camps Bay, to the contemporary new art forms of Vusi Khumalo. While the initial emphasis was on a collection of Cape paintings, as the collection grew, so did the scope. It now encompasses an intriguing cross section of genres and subject matter, which represent an overview of South Africa over the last hundred years.

December 2009 dates the birth of Ellerman Contemporary, our contemporary art gallery hidden away under the manicured lawns of the lower terrace. This space was created to expose guests to the immense talent of South African contemporary artists and their work. Ever evolving, the contemporary collection rotates throughout the year allowing guests to explore new talent in and amongst well-respected and established South African contemporary artists.

Tonight, guests are invited to take the Ellerman House Art Tour within the public places of Ellerman House and Ellerman Contemporary Gallery. The collection has been curated to include various themes that frame the collection. We invite you to wonder through the house and experience it for yourself.

Jacob Hendrik Pierneef was born in 1886 in Pretoria and died in 1957, at the age of 71. Pierneef started his high school career at the Staatsmodelschool in Pretoria and it was here that he started his art classes. In 1901 the Pierneef family moved to the Netherlands where he continued his schooling. This experience brought Pierneef into contact with the works of the old masters and it had a lasting impression on him. He studied part time at the Rotterdamse Kunstakademie. It was only in 1902 that Pierneef showed his works on an exhibition for the first time. It was a group exhibition with Anton van Wouw and Hugo Naudé and was visited by various well- known personalities. In 1920 Pierneef had a major exhibition in Pretoria with more than 300 works in various mediums. He received very favourable reviews. In 1925 he had an exhibition in the Netherlands and it was the Bushmen drawings that sparked especially great interest. In 1929 Pierneef was commissioned to do the 28 panels for the inside of the new Johannesburg Station Building which kept him occupied for the next three years and are seen as one of the highlights in his career. In 1933 he received his second commission to do seven murals for South Africa House in London, which he finished in 1934.

Maggie Laubser was born in the Malmesbury District of the Cape in 1886. She died in the Strand in 1973, at the age of 87.

She was elected a South African Society of Artists (SASA) member in 1907, long before she became a noted modernist. Her first recorded participation on a SASA-related exhibition was in a joint show with the South African Fine Arts Association (SAFAA) in 1910, when she entered a work entitled Hibiscus, on offer at 3 guineas. There is no further record of her exhibiting with SASA until 1922, when she returned briefly to Cape Town from abroad. It was then that she entered her Wild Poppies and Garda Bay in Autumn. They had been painted over the previous two years, when, after her studies at the Slade School in London, she had visited Germany, and then the shores of Lake Garda in Italy.

The two works showed her already schooled in the principles of modernism. Laubser went to Germany soon after the 1922 exhibition, where she was encouraged by Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. In 1924, she returned to South Africa to live near Klipheuwel in the Cape. In her new phase in South Africa, her work focused on portraits of African and Indian men and women.
