Prof Fikeni, Chairperson of the Board acknowledged that there was confusion in drawing a distinction between the mandates of the South African Heritage Resources Agency and that of the National Heritage Council. He pointed out that it was the responsibility of the South African Heritage Resources Agency to grade the National Heritage Liberation Route and the responsibility of the National Heritage Council to provide funding for it. She stressed that the National Heritage Council was well resourced (R44 million), but yet only had a staff complement of 20.
