The department revealed that R15m has been spent on completed projects at the Robben Island Museum (RIM), which include a memorial wall, the Nelson Mandela museum, and the refurbishment of sports facilities.
Six statues commemorating historical figures - Autshumato, Krotoa, Nelson Mandela, Robert Sobukwe, Herman Toivo Ya Toivo, and Khotso Seatlholo - were completed in September and feature inscribed plates.
Robben Island Museum has also completed the production of 2700 name plates of Robben Island’s ex-political prisoners with names, years of incarceration/ banishment and prison number. Names were unveiled by the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture in September, but a contractor is currently attending to a snag list and remedial works.
