The project launch will take place in Ulundi on 27 August 2017, which coincides with Dr. Buthelezi’s birthday.

The Preservation Legacy Project will be rolled out in phases which include assessing Dr Buthelezi’s personal archives, compiling joint recommendations, interviewing Dr Buthelezi and possible publication of the archives.

As per its mandate, the department has been tasked with providing support to museums across the province. The department also manages a collection center which houses thousands of artifacts which must be kept in accordance with specialized norms and standards.
