Preserve our heritage and refurbish Walter Sisulu Square now!
We call on all Gauteng residents to sign our petition to force the Gauteng Department of Sports, Arts, Culture and Recreation (SACR) to urgently refurbish Walter Sisulu Square to benefit the people of Soweto.
The Gauteng Department of Sports, Arts, Culture and Recreation (SACR) has since 2020 failed to refurbish Walter Sisulu Square of Dedication, depriving thousands of residents of businesses and employment opportunities.
The heritage square has been neglected and is prone to further vandalism by criminals who are continuing to strip and steal materials.
This facility, which contains South African history, a clinic, a post office, and a licensing department, is no longer functional.
Sign our petition now to demand the refurbishment of Walter Sisulu Square of Dedication
The DA’s mission to force the SACR Department to do the following:
- To refurbish the facility and ensure it is fully functional,
- To make an urgent intervention to reconnect electricity at the Soweto Hotel,
- To establish a residency contract for artists performing for tourists at the square,
- To absorb volunteer security personnel at the square,
- To ensure marketing of the square after refurbishment to attract tourists and event organisers.
It is crucial that we not only preserve our heritage, but that while doing so; we create employment and opportunities for residents.
