World Heritage Threatened - Mapungubwe

Our natural heritage is important to consider, especially as issues like industrial pollution and environmental degradation are threatening the status of some of our most treasured national resources- places like Mapungubwe.

Mapungubwe is a national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site, and extends into the Greater Mapungubwe Transfrontier Conservation Area. This culturally sacred place therefore has significance not only for us South Africans, but also for our neighbours across the border in Zimbabwe and Botswana.

This timelapse video was created to encapsulate so much of what is so special about Mapungubwe, the wide-open spaces, the pristine environment and the culturally important landmarks that have held significance for countless generations before us.

It is therefore important that these resources are maintained for all of us to share, and that places like Mapungubwe are preserved for future generations- because the granting of a coal mining license will not only affect the nature of our national park but also the future of our national heritage.
