The Madiba Youth Organisation wants more Heritage sites
Founder and Manager of Madiba Youth Organisation Mr Adam Sibuyi has directed the National Heritage Month through the Ministry of Chiefs and Traditional Affairs to declare more sites in the country as national monuments and open these sites to the public.
Sibuyi says that this was in order to stimulate rural development as most of these sites were found in chiefdoms.

Mr. Sibuyi has further urged the Ministry of Chiefs and Traditional Affairs to ensure that both the policy and legislation are provided for participation of local communities, vulnerable groups and the private sector to stimulate rural development and the creation of the sustainable jobs.
“MYO is celebrating this heritage because it strengthens our nationhood and accentuates our common humanity by recognising the need to forge unity through common dignity, self-worth and the esteem of each citizen,” he said.
Mr. Sibuyi has also urged South Africans to be tourists of their own beautiful country, adding that the country offers a diversity and abundance of cultural and natural sites that encapsulate both the beauty and history of the nation.
