Section 27 of the National Heritage Resources Act (NHRA) of
South Africa provides for places of historic or cultural importance to be designated national heritage sites.[1] This came into effect with the introduction of the Act on 1 April 2000, when all former national monuments declared by the former
National Monuments Council and its predecessors became
provincial heritage sites as provided for in Section 58 of the Act.[2]
Both national and provincial heritage sites are protected under the terms of Section 27 of the NHRA, and a permit is required to work on them. National heritage sites are declared and administered by the national heritage resources authority,
SAHRA; provincial heritage sites fall within the domain of the various
provincial heritage resources authorities.
The SAHRA logo is used to mark national heritage sites.
