UNESCO Bergrivier Tourism Weskus Heritage Wesgro Cradle of Human Culture

Media statement by Minister Ricardo Mackenzie: UNESCO proclaims new World Heritage Site in WC and KZN

On Friday, 26 July 2024, the 46th Session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee proclaimed World Heritage status for three sites in the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, as part of the South African nomination, ‘The Emergence of Modern Human Behaviour: The Pleistocene Occupation Sites of South Africa.’

The successful inscription of these three Middle Stone Age sites is a recognition of our significant contribution to understanding the origins of modern human behaviour.

The three sites are:
• Diepkloof Rock Shelter close to Elands Bay in the Western Cape
• Pinnacle Point Site Complex in Mossel Bay in the Western Cape
• Sibhudu Cave in KwaDukuza in KwaZulu-Natal.

Speaking at the Session, in response to the announcement of the inscription, Provincial Minister of Cultural Affairs and Sport, Ricardo Mackenzie, said, “It is with immense pride and gratitude that I accept the prestigious recognition of The Emergence of Modern Human Behaviour: The Pleistocene Occupation Sites of South Africa as a World Heritage Site. This momentous occasion marks a significant milestone in our collective journey to preserve and celebrate the origins of modern human behaviour and our shared cultural heritage. The exceptional preservation of these sites, amidst the challenges of climate change and rising sea levels stand as testaments to our ancestors' resilience, ingenuity, and adaptation to environmental changes.”

Mackenzie continued, “The integrity and authenticity of these sites have been meticulously preserved through the diligent efforts of international multidisciplinary teams of experts. Their work, grounded in the highest standards of archaeological practice, has ensured that the findings remain intact and continue to reveal new insights as research progresses. The commitment to protecting these sites under national heritage legislation and comprehensive management frameworks further ensures their preservation for future generations.”

Premier Alan Winde added, “Achieving this World Heritage Site status is a monumental recognition of our province's exceptional cultural and historical significance on the world stage. In addition to our existing two World Heritage Sites, this inscription will promote sustainable tourism, economic development and job creation for many residents of the Western Cape.”
