Tomorrow, Tuesday, 19 September 2023, the Democratic Alliance (DA) Gauteng Spokesperson for Sports, Arts, Culture and Recreation (SACR), Wildri Peach MPL, will conduct an oversight inspection at the Women’s Living Heritage Monument in Pretoria.

The DA will assess whether the Gauteng Department of Sports, Arts, Culture and Recreation (SACR) has fixed the shoddy work at the Women’s Living Heritage Monument.

The monument, valued at R200 million, has not been issued an operational certificate since its completion in 2018 due to shoddy workmanship.

R80 million has been spent to ensure that this facility is operational; however, it is still not fully operational.

Members of the media are invited, and there will be an opportunity for interviews and photographs.

Details of the oversight inspection are as follows:
