Seychelles’ and South Africa’s heritage councils are to exchange best practices, expertise, and joint activities in the field of heritage conservation, preservation, and restoration through a newly signed memorandum of understanding (MoU). Signed by the chief executive of the National Heritage Council of South Africa, Ndivhoniswani Lukhwareni, and the executive director of the Seychelles National Heritage Resource Council, Benjamine Rose, the MoU takes immediate effect and for a period of five years. Rose told reporters that the MoU is an extension of the long-standing collaboration between the two countries established in 1993.
The agreement’s main aim is to establish an institutional structure for the two parties to exchange expertise and have joint activities. These will cover diverse aspects such as heritage conservation, preservation, restoration of cultural relics and ruins, academic research as well as promotion and management of natural and cultural heritage.
The executive director explained that South Africa has extensive expertise in the field of heritage management. We are also looking for their support and technical expertise so that we can put together a dossier before submission for world heritage nomination. With cooperation in cultural education where students from both sides can benefit from exchanges. He added that various cultural and heritage programs are held during the South African heritage month of September. Seychelles’ participation in them would help them with some valuable insights.
