The Committee proceeded to the Karoo Paleontology Department. They were met by Dr Jennifer Botha-Brink and her assistant, world-renowned paleontology technician Mr. John Nyaphuli. Of the two interns that the department had, Mr. Nyaphuli was the second South African citizen to win the coveted award. The Committee was informed that all their exhibits were in Sesotho, Afrikaans and English, and they were shown the Paleontology Hall that depicted the evolution of life on Earth, beginning approximately 4000 million years ago. The entrance display included information about the earliest environmental conditions and suggestions on how life first began on Earth. A paleontology display for the disabled included a "touch and feel" display and associated information was also provided in Braille. The Committee proceeded to the Archaeology Hall that presented a broad view of the history of Southern Africa, focusing on human communities from more than two million years ago. Several aspects of past human behavior were highlighted through the interpretation of material remains from ancient human societies. The Director, National Museum indicated that the hall was still under construction.
