ProposalDescription: 

The HPU conducts annual site visits to Declared National Heritage Resources within the country. For the first quarter, the HPU has dedicated Northwest for site assessments. In this regard there was a complaint that Mr JB Marks' tombstone had collapsed and needed to be urgently repaired.

Expanded_Motivation: 

On the 4th of May 2021, the HPU had a meeting with the Family Rep, the JB Marks Local Municipality, The Arts Culture Sports and Recreation department, and the PHRA. The objective of the meeting was to discuss the Heritage Agreement with relevant stakeholders. The stakeholders agreed to participate; however, they would need to report back to their respective principals. The due date for commenting is the end of May 2021. The delegation undertook a site visit to the National Heritage Site of JB Marks to assess the condition of the memorial and the graves. The site is being taken care off by the JB Marks Family in conjunction with the Local and Provincial Municipality. However, there is no formal agreement. The roles and responsibilities still need to be outlined and clearly redefined. The site currently has currently has two security guards and two gardeners. The next-door site is currently under construction and there are many disturbances there. The memorial at the site is currently in a fair state. However, the memorial still has some cracks, and the recently installed glue can be clearly seen. The Provincial department is grouchy about poor workmanship. The tombstone at the grave has recently been repaired as it has collapsed. The tombstone was repaired by the Provincial department, however; they could not get Zimbabwean Granite and replaced it with Rustenburg Granite. In conclusion the site is well maintained and there is tight security. The province fears that if there is a strong wind, the memorial or tombstone might fall over again.
