The Department of Arts and Culture, and the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) are working on a project to honour the life of Sarah BAARTMAN. The project involves her grave site at Hankey, which SAHRA declared a national heritage site last year. It is believed that the project involves an information centre detailing her lfe and the Khoisan people in general. An international competition will be run by the architectural department of the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University for the design of facilities around the burial site.
