The Chief Executive Officer reported that the renovations would cost R22m, involving the roofing of the entire National Monument and the Heritage Site. He pointed out that these were not straight forward renovations and work on Heritage Sites tended to be more expensive. In this context, he mentioned that a Serbian Group - Heritage Specialists - was appointed to do the work. The project was started in November 2010 and would be completed in October 2011. The first phase was to rehabilitate the building. The bulk of the work involved plumbing; storm water drainage and electrical work.
