The Western Cape Government on Tuesday said
it has repeatedly called on national government to let go of some of the
management rights and responsibilities of Robben Island Museum to the
provincial along with its budget for better and effective running of the
museum.
This follows reports that the Robben Island
Museum has called on the private sector to step in and save this site from
losing its World Heritage Status.
Ministerial Spokesperson Siviwe Gwarube
said it is clear that we cannot afford to wait any
longer before this turnaround strategy is implemented.
Gwarube said it
is the responsibility of all spheres of government to step in to restore Robben
Island to its former glory.
“The Western Cape Government is committed to working with Minister Mthethwa’s department to ensure that this happens Gwarube added.
