A NEW development application has been submitted for the Baboon Point heritage site at Elands Bay – the province’s first formally declared heritage site, and one of the most important heritage conservation areas in Africa.

Part of this rocky promontory at the southern end of the West Coast fishing village contains a unique, unbroken record of more than 100 000 years of human habitation.

However, much of the property within the boundaries is privately owned, and the owner – Midnight Storm – submitted a new development application there last month, after its previous attempt to get permission to build 90 houses there failed."

This struggle against colonialism produced many heroes of our people.

Chief Adam Kok the first, the leader founder of the Griqua community is one such outstanding hero of the wars of resistance against white settlers and colonialism."
