Equally important, but less well understood, is the potential for a vibrant and dynamic arts and culture sector to contribute significantly to the economy of the country. The Department of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology (DACST) is contributing to the government’s Growth, Employment and Redistribution (GEAR) strategy through a number of initiatives intended to enhance the economic and social benefits of arts and culture. The Cultural Industries Growth Strategy (CIGS) is one such initiative and has concentrated on developing strategies for the growth and development of the cultural industries, in particular to realise their potential to create an export market and to create employment. DACST appointed the Cultural Strategy Group, a multi-disciplinary consortium, to undertake the research and policy aspects of the study. The team included KPMG, the Centre for African Transformation (CART), LMA/SQW policy and research consultants and BDM consulting. This report was commissioned by DACST to research the cultural industries and to propose strategies for their growth and development. This report does not necessarily reflect the views of the Department or the Ministry of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology but will be used to inform future policy formulation. The term “cultural industries” is used to describe a wide variety of cultural activities which all have commercial organisation as their prime motivating force. These activities take a number of different forms and are organised in different ways from the manufacture or creation of products to the marketing and distribution thereof. The cultural industries which CSG concentrated on included: the music industry; the craft industry, publishing industry and the film and television industry. Their selection was based on a number of criteria including the recognition that these sectors were identifiable industries in South Africa; are potentially internationally competitive; have the potential to create employment and offer opportunities for rural and urban job creation. The cultural industries tend to be: knowledge intensive, involving highly skilled workers labour intensive, creating more than the average number of jobs differentiated, taking the form of small and medium enterprises (SMMEs) and large enterprises and linked with close, interlocking but flexible networks of production and service systems, allowing the sector flexibility in the face of economic recession Understanding the global context of the cultural industries is of crucial importance if any attempt is made to develop them. The politics of the “New Economy” and phenomena like the Internet make understanding these processes absolutely necessary. The CIGS process was designed to ensure a critical dialogue with experts from other countries © DACST 1 The South African Craft Industry Cultural Industries Growth Strategy (CIGS) where successful strategies to develop the cultural industries within this global context has been undertaken. The methodology followed for the CIGS study is an industry strategy analysis. Each sector report is therefore principally an economic analysis providing baseline data for each of the four sectors, and focusing on the current economic and social contribution of each sector; the impediments to growth and the opportunities for employment creation and competitive development. Each sector report concludes with strategic policy recommendations interventions for both the public and private sector. These recommendations aim to: maximise investment opportunities in the sector; highlight areas for government participation and legislation; identify potential private sector initiatives; leverage in multiple funding sources and benefit all stakeholders and practitioners within the industry and the economy as a whole This report is one of four sector studies. A fifth document “Creative South Africa” presents the argument for taking cultural industries seriously and develops a strategy for doing so.

  • Manor House and Environs (See Figure 5.6) (Manor House, Orpen House, Old Stables, Riverine Corridor)
    5.5 Sub-Precinct 3: Manor House and Environs (see Figure 5.6) (Manor House, Orpen House, Old Stables, Riverine Corridor) This Sub-Precinct, (along with the Commonage area described above and the Manor Gardens described in the following section) constitutes the Heritage Core of the precinct. (See Baseline Assessment and Heritage Assessment, attached as Annexure A). The Sub-Precinct encompasses the Tokai Manor House (PHS / National Monument 1961), the various elements in its immediate environs (old retaining walls, slave bell etc) its ‘forecourt’ or werf and the approach avenue, along with the two flanking historical building complexes (Grade 2), Orpen House (Grade 3A) to the north, and the old Stables complex to the south. The Manor House is currently used as interim offices for the TMNP head office and two of the outbuildings, the Old Stables and Orpen House, are largely unused and suffering from years of dereliction. Refer to the Baseline Report and Heritage Report for further detail on the heritage significance of this Sub-Precinct. There is broad agreement that the deterioration of the landscape and built fabric of the surrounding buildings and environs of the Manor House is of great concern and should be given urgent attention. The proposals for the buildings and landscapes of this Sub-Precinct have the potential to accommodate a wide range of low impact and appropriate visitor and recreational activities to be accessible to all socio-economic groups and consistent with the ‘vision’ of the precinct as a ‘Gateway’ to the National Park, in addition to the requirement for interpretative historical displays.
