Today, 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.
