The outing to White River on Sat. 8 August has been postponed by a week to Sat. Aug. 15 _________________________________________________________________________________________ SA removes sites from the UNESCO world heritage tentative list Including Pilgrims Rest reduction works Pilgrims Rest reduction works early 1900’s Heritage Portal, Friday, 24 July, 2015 - 11:22 In what has come as a complete shock to many in the local heritage community, six local sites have quietly been removed from the country’s tentative World Heritage Site list. Jacques Stoltz from the Heritage Monitoring Project investigates. The sites in question are: the legendary “copper mountains” of Namaqualand that obsessed and often eluded early Dutch explorers (while inspiring one of South Africa’s greatest botanical works of art, the “Codex Witsenii”, c. 1692), Africa’s first gold industrial plant and arguably the best preserved Central Reduction Works in the world, early industrial scale diamond mining operations (which indelibly altered much of Central, Eastern and Southern Africa as a result of a voracious labour system), 18th and 19th century sites associated with Abbé Nicolas Louis de La Caille’s measurements of the Arc of Meridian at the Cape, pristine coastal dunefields, and an island group described as “one of the most important and well-conserved examples of sub- Antarctic islands…”. According to UNESCO “A Tentative List is an inventory of those properties situated on its territory which each State Party considers suitable for inscription on the World Heritage List. States Parties should therefore include… the names of those properties which they consider to be cultural and/or natural heritage of Outstanding Universal Value and which they intend to nominate during the following years” (our emphasis). Without inclusion on the tentative list, a site cannot be nominated for inscription on the world heritage list. The sites that have been removed are: Pilgrim's Rest Reduction Works Industrial Heritage Site (added in 2004) Kimberley Mines and Associated Early Industries (2004) Alexandria Coastal Dunefields (2009) The Prince Edward Islands (2009) The Namaqualand Copper Mining Landscape (2009) The Cape Arc of Meridian (2009) Based on an analysis of UNESCO documentation of South Africa’s official tentative list it would appear that the six sites were removed in April this year. In addition, two sites were updated (the Pleistocene occupation sites of South Africa and the Cape Winelands Cultural Landscape) and the inclusion of a new serial listing entitled “Human Rights, Liberation Struggle and Reconciliation: Nelson Mandela Legacy Sites (2015)”. The tentative listing of the Cape Floral Region Protected Areas (2009) – an extension of the Cape Floral Kingdom (originally inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 2004) – resulted in the formal extension of the clusters making up the site from eight to thirteen sites. This extension brings the total site to 1,094,742 hectares. These changes are summarised below: Previous tentative list (2014) Current tentative list (2015) Pleistocene occupation sites of: Klasies River Border Cave The Emergence of Modern Humans: The Wonderwerk Cave and Pleistocene occupation sites of South Africa (2015) comparable sites relating to the emergence of modern humans (1998) Pilgrim's Rest Reduction Works Industrial Removed from list Heritage Site (2004) Kimberley Mines and Associated Early Removed from list Industries (2004) The !Xam Khomani Heartland (2004) The !Xam Khomani Heartland (2004) Alexandria Coastal Dunefields (2009) Removed from list Cape Floral Region Protected Areas (2009) Extensions approved (2015) The Cape Winelands Cultural Early Farmsteads of the Cape Winelands Landscape (2009) (2015) The Barberton Mountain Land, Barberton The Barberton Mountain Land, Barberton Greenstone Belt or Makhonjwa Mountains (2009) Greenstone Belt or Makhonjwa Mountains (2009) The Prince Edward Islands (2009) Removed from list Succulent Karoo Protected Areas (2009) Succulent Karoo Protected Areas (2009) Liberation Heritage Route (2009) Liberation Heritage Route (2009) The Namaqualand Copper Mining Removed from list Landscape (2009) The Cape Arc of Meridian (2009) Removed from list Human Rights, Liberation Struggle and - Reconciliation: Nelson Mandela Legacy Sites (2015) While there are still seven sites remaining on the list in addition to the existing eight sites already inscribed on the World Heritage list, the delisting of six sites raises a number of questions: Why has such an important decision not been officially announced by the authorities concerned - principally the Department of Environmental Affairs? What was the motivation behind the removal of the sites? What are the implications of the delisting on the future conservation of these sites given that many of the sites are not even grade I sites at present? Will these sites still be considered for listing at a future date? The Heritage Monitoring Project is particularly perturbed by the perception among stakeholders that a decision of national interest has been shrouded in secrecy. This is particularly disconcerting as UNESCO expects state parties to “prepare their Tentative Lists with the participation of a wide variety of stakeholders, including site managers, local and regional governments, local communities, NGOs and other interested parties and partners”. Still a guessing game People familiar with the process have told us there are a number of reasons why the state may have delisted the sites. These range from the nominating parties not having the time, resources or technical capability to pursue the nomination process, limited progress with the listing process by the teams working on the nominations or even that the sites may no longer meet the criteria for outstanding universal value. It may also be a case of the state wanting fewer sites in order to refocus resources on those sites that are more advanced with their preparations. Current fiscal constraints are obviously also a consideration particularly in the case of provinces with more limited resources such as the Eastern Cape, the Northern Cape and Mpumalanga. On the other hand it might also be that government is wary of listing sites that involve multiple land ownership, as would be the case at the Namaqualand Copper Mining Landscape – considering the problems experienced at Vredefort Dome and to a lessor extent the Cradle of Humankind WHS. However, this would not be the case at most of the other sites, as many are all state owned or owned by a small number of owners. Land ownership issues have plagued the Vredefort Dome According to a media statement issued by the Department of Environmental Affairs in July this year announcing the extension of the Cape Floral Region Protected Areas there clearly has been a rethink within government regarding UNESCO sites: “The last time South Africa had a site inscribed on the World Heritage List was in 2007 with the inscription of the Richtersveld Cultural and Botanical Landscape. Since then the government shifted its focus to improving the management of the sites that are already inscribed and to put in place measures to minimise challenges experienced in world heritage sites. As a result, no new nominations were submitted to UNESCO from 2007 until now. The extension of the Cape Floral Region is the first nomination to be submitted after the development of the Procedure for Nomination of World Heritage Sites. As new nominations are also being compiled, it is envisaged that in the next few years the number of World Heritage Sites in South Africa will increase and thus increasing the size of the conservation estate.” (Our emphasis). In 2014, the Department also issued new procedures for the nomination of world heritage sites which covers tentative listings as well. HASA response For Len Raymond, Chairperson of the Heritage Association of South Africa (HASA) the delisting of sites may be a double-edged sword, “On the one hand it may not necessarily be a bad thing as there will be more resources available within the Ministry to guide the teams working on the remaining list of sites. Over the past few years South Africa has been losing steam where it comes to the inscription of new sites – particularly among cultural sites. We are also obviously concerned about the fact that UNESCO sites might detract attention from national sites that should be accorded the same attention and resources as UNESCO site nominations. On the other hand we are deeply concerned about the delisting of an entire group of highly significant industrial sites at Namaqualand, Kimberley and Pilgrim’s Rest – these sites we believe carry huge value to the peoples of Southern Africa and beyond – given the extent of the labour

  • The Battle of Congella
    REMEMBERING DURBAN’S HISTORICAL TAPESTRY – THE BATTLE OF CONGELLA Researched and written by Udo Richard AVERWEG Tuesday 23rd May 2017 marks an important date in Durban’s historical tapestry – it is the dodransbicentennial (175th) anniversary of the commencement of the Battle of Congella in the greater city of Durban. From a military historical perspective, the Congella battle site was actually named after former Zulu barracks (known as an ikhanda), called kwaKhangela. This was established by King Shaka kaSenzangakhona (ca. 1787 – 1828) to keep a watchful eye on the nearby British traders at Port Natal - the full name of the place was kwaKhangela amaNkengane (‘place of watching over vagabonds’). Shortly after the Battle of Blood River (isiZulu: iMpi yaseNcome) on 16th December 1838, Natalia Republiek was established by the migrant Voortrekkers (Afrikaner Boers, mainly of Dutch descent). It stretched from the Tugela River to the north to present day Port St Johns at the UMzimvubu River to the south. The Natalia Republiek was seeking an independent port of entry, free from British control by conquering the Port Natal trading settlement, which had been settled by mostly British traders on the modern-day site of Durban. However, the governor of the Cape Province, Maj Gen Sir George Thomas Napier KCB (1784 - 1855), stated that his intention was to take military possession of Port Natal and prevent the Afrikaner Boers establishing an independent republic upon the coast with a harbour through which access to the interior could be gained. The Battle of Congella began on 23rd May 1842 between British troops from the Cape Colony and the Afrikaner Boer forces of the Natalia Republiek.
