Minister Macpherson welcomes letters of award for Sarah Baartman Centre

# Public Works and Infrastructure minister Dean Macpherson has welcomed the issuing of Letters of Award for the long-delayed Sarah Baartman Centre of Remembrance in Hankey, Eastern Cape. The project, stalled for over a decade, will now move to final compliance and contractual stages before construction resumes. The minister says the milestone reflects improved governance and procurement. He says that the centre will honor Sarah Baartman, whose story has been called the epitome of racist colonial exploitation, while boosting local tourism and economic development.
