AMAFA: Call for Proposals - Survey of the Heritage Landmarks & Built Environment in the Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park World Heritage Site (UDP WHS), KwaZulu-Natal

Amafa AkwaZulu Natali is the provincial heritage agency appointed in terms of the KZN Heritage Act. It is responsible for, inter alia, adding to the provincial data base of heritage sites. The Province of KwaZulu-Natal has a rich historic and cultural heritage. Some of these heritage resources have been identified for protection under previous dispensations but those protections need to be revisited both on the database and physically. The 243 000ha UDP was designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in November 2000, and proclaimed as a World Heritage Site on 18 December 2007 in terms of the World Heritage Convention Act (No 49 0f 1999). The Vision of the UDP WHS: A World Heritage Site that protects it’s Outstanding Universal Values and is supported by the people of Southern Africa

AMAFA: Call for Proposals - Design & Production of a Curriculum & Associated Material for Rock Art Monitor Training

Amafa AkwaZulu Natali is the provincial heritage agency appointed in terms of the KZN Heritage Act. It is responsible for, inter alia, the conservation of heritage resources in the Province, including rock art. Ideally the management of rock art sites should be based on the co-operative participation of interested and affected parties (land owners with rock art on their properties, EKZNW, private game reserves, communities, NGOs, museums, universities, etc.)
