allAfrica.com: South Africa: Art as Movable Capital - How Nation May Be Losing Millions Every Year

allAfrica.com: South Africa: Art as Movable Capital - How Nation May Be Losing Millions Every Year: "The sale could have gone like this: The London auction house could have approached the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) in advance of the sale to apply for an export permit for the Arab Priest (which it did). SAHRA could have denied the permit on the grounds that the exportation of the painting, deemed a cultural treasure, would be a loss to the national estate (which it did).

Freedom Park on Salvokop to the south of the Pretoria CBD is a legacy project initiated by former president Thabo Mbeki.

Artslink.co.za - Melville Koppies newsletter: August 2011:

"The Cave on Melville Koppies West is a heritage site with a blue Heritage Plaque. A magnificent Ficus ingens (Rock-breaking fig tree) frames the cave shelter made by the overhang of enormous quartzite rocks just west of Beyers Naude Drive. In springtime the tree’s leaves turn blood-red. We had an unexpected pleasure this week when Revil Mason, the archaeologist who did extensive work in Melville Koppies and other sites in South Africa, gave a talk to a few guests at The Cave itself. One could easily imagine the excitement of the archaeologists as they unearthed fragments of bones of wild and domestic animals in the deep layers of ash. The patterns on the assortment of the many pottery shards found indicated that people from far and wide used The Cave, even people from the Free State. The real bonus find was the linkshaft of a Bushman arrow."
