Case Decision - 195051

Final Decision
The SAHRA Archaeology, Palaeontology and Meteorites (APM) Unit has reviewed the assessment and has no objections against the proposed development. The following conditions must be adhered to:
1. A permit in terms of section 35(4) of the NHRA and Chapter II and IV of the NHRA Regulations must be applied for from SAHRA for the demolition of the wall. No damage to the wall may occur without a permit issued for this purpose. 
2. During demolition an archaeologist must be present to monitor the ground clearance in case further heritage resources may be found in the process. A monitoring report must be submitted to SAHRA (email to [email protected]).
3. Should any objects of archaeological or palaeontological remains be found during construction activities, work must immediately stop in that area and the South African Heritage Recourse Agency (SAHRA) or Heritage Free State (HFS) must be informed. An archaeologist must be contacted to assess the importance and rescue them if necessary (with the relevant SAHRA permit). No work may be resumed in this area without the permission from SAHRA.
