1. The Mine health and Safety Council (MHSC) identified the Workers Museum and Mary Fitzgerald Square as the most appropriate locations to install the memorial for the fallen mineworkers. Permission to continue with the project on the site was given by the City of Johannesburg (CoJ), then the project was initiated. However, the initial permission was not honoured as a result of the changes of officials and administrators at the CoJ. In this regard, the monument will be placed at the MHSC Office Building whilst there is ongoing engagements regarding the identified sites at the City of Johannesburg.
