The KwaMuhle Museum stands as one of Durban’s most poignant heritage sites. Once the headquarters of the city’s Native Administration Department during apartheid, the building has been transformed into a space of memory, healing, and cultural education. Its exhibitions highlight migrant labor, apartheid laws, and stories of resilience.
