Lusanda Bill
27 May 2012

The Vredefort Dome Memorandum of Agreement was signed by the relevant stakeholders on Saturday.

The agreement comes after four years of negotiations between Environmental Affairs and Free State and North West landowners.

The agreement creates a formal partnership to ensure that the integrity of the Vredefort Dome World Heritage Site is maintained.

The site is now well on its way to becoming South Africa’s eighth world heritage site.

This comes after Unesco decided that it fulfilled the selection criteria for being of outstanding universal value to humankind.
