Public display of plans for burial ground development

On 2 April UCT hosted a poster display of heritage indicators and building plans for the proposed new developments on the former Rustenberg Burial Ground on Middle Campus.

The display was part of the Heritage Impact Assessment, which is required by the National Heritage Resources Act.

Various consultants were on hand throughout the day to hear feedback and respond to questions from the public.

A new student administration building and a new school of economics building are planned for the site, where hundreds of slaves were buried in the 17th and 18th centuries.
