The Struggle for Autonomy and Preservation: Robben Island’s Historical Legacy

by

Robben Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a rich history, is facing bureaucratic difficulties in its preservation. The Robben Island Museum (RIM) is advocating for a power shift to safeguard the island’s preservation for future generations, proposing that the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) cede its maintenance responsibilities and budget to the RIM. The transfer could potentially bypass bureaucratic roadblocks, but budget constraints remain a significant obstacle. Members of Parliament are calling for improved communication and a more active approach to maintenance to prevent degradation or privatization of heritage sites like Robben Island.
