The grave site is situated on the premises of the Ohlange Institute. Mr Nelson Mandela casted his vote at the institute in respect of Dr. JL Dube. The Department of Arts and Culture established a steering committee to facilitate the renovation of the grave site. They had to apply for a permit from the provincial heritage body, Amafa AkwaZulu- Natali in order to improve the gravesite. The Department of Arts and Culture also planned to purchase a house on the premises of the Institute and planned in converting it into an interpretive centre. There has however been a delay with the National Department of Public Works on its purchase. The purpose of the interpretation centre would be to narrate Dube's life story. An amount of R3 million has been allocated for the whole project and would be administered by a Project Management Team.
