For the month of June the WHAG team was busy with preventative conservation, which coincides with our mandate.

WHAG derives its legislative and policy mandates primarily from the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa; the Public Finance Management Act 1 of 1999 and the relevant Treasury Regulations including the Public Service Act as well as the Cultural Institutions Act, 119 of 1998, with the prescribed mandate of:

“To collect, preserve, conserve and document, research as well as exhibit works of art which represent the artistic heritage of all South Africans and utilizes its assets for the edification, enrichment, and enjoyment of the people.”
