ADVOCACY

The first step in the collation of all South Africa’s available liberation heritage information is the engagement with all relevant stakeholders nationally and internationally. This will assist NaLHISA to ascertain the amount of information that is available.

NaLHISA will be recognised not just as a repository of liberation history and heritage but as the leading force in advocating for the employment of this rich heritage in the construction of a more democratic and equitable future in line with the ideals of the country’s liberation forebearers.

ARCHIVING AND DIGITISING

Collating and preservation of information

In keeping with the digital age and 4th Industrial Revolution, it is critical that all information is found, and collected (or duplicated) from its current repositories for preservation within the NaLHISA repository.

A digital repository is in the construction phase to ensure safe keeping and provision of access to the community of South Africa and all interested parties looking to learn about the rich history of this country.

YOUTH EMPOWERMENT

Looking Into the Past to Inspire the Future

NaLHISA sees the country’s rich national liberation story as a strong galvanising force for nation-building and a source of inspiration for future generations. For this reason, the youth is at the centre of focus for NaLHISA to ensure the information is passed on to them, so they can know their past to be able to inspire and dream of a better future for the nation.

NATION BUILDING THROUGH
TELLING OUR STORY

A critical part of the South African liberation story is the story of the normal South African, the ones who kept the country running whilst freedom fighters were in exile, the ones who fought the system from within, the ones who kept homes running and kept children safe. It is the story of women who fought rapes by their oppressive masters, it is the story of the youth who fought the Afrikaans teaching system, and it is the story of the adult garden ‘boys’ who persevered daily insults to feed their families, it is the story of fathers who were separated from their families in order to work in the mines for their families.

A nationwide storytelling roadshow is, therefore, necessary to collect and collate these stories which are a big part of the struggle for liberation for all South Africans.

PROGRAMME NAME PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION

NaLHISA Launch Programme
The launch programme aims to debut NaLHISA, introduce its vision and unique value proposition, showcase the brand, and establish its presence in South Africa. The launch programme comprises of four parts including a media launch, stakeholder engagement, conference and post launch activities.

Archiving and Digitisation Programme
The Archiving and Digitisation programme seeks to take legal custody of all the archive material produced for the support of the national liberation activities in South Africa. NaLHISA will be an aggregator and establish a repository for storage, preservation, and access of the liberation heritage. This programme further seeks to convert all analogue archived data sources into digital files.

Building Capabilities Programme
Through this programme, NaLHISA seeks to build a credible and proactive community that is aware, collects and preserves the liberation and heritage materials through training and development programs. The NaLHISA Institute will be the state-of-the-art liberation and heritage facility for the sole purpose of facilitating access to liberation and heritage archives mainly by archivists, artists, cultural activists, researchers and the community at large.

Building Capabilities Programme
NaLHISA will develop partnerships and collaborations with key institutions and actors working on the national liberation and heritage. Taking a value-adding partnership approach, NaLHISA will collaborate with South African and African memory and heritage sites including museums, archives, libraries, and organisations working on archival collateral on South Africa’s liberation heritage, heritage sites, and projects that focus on liberation heritage.

Advocacy Programme
NaLHISA will be the leading force in advocating for the preservation of national liberation and heritage in the construction of a more democratic and equitable future in line with the ideals of the liberation forebearers. Advocacy activities will include influencing policy, campaigns and community dialogues to ensure social cohesion and community upliftment.

Youth Programme
Through the Youth Programme, NaLHISA brings an awareness, education and an understanding of the liberation and heritage of Africans that will ensure youth prepare better for their future. The South African youth need, now more than ever, to understand their African heritage and identity.

Economic, Social and Financial Emancipation and Empowerment Programme
This programme will foster economic and financial inclusion towards promoting the provision of investment opportunities in various industries to the previously disadvantaged communities. It aims to propel Africans into the world economic mainstream.

Resource Mobilisation and Sustainability Programme
This programme mobilises diversified sources of finance to implement NaLHISA’s mandate and the community of actors working on the national liberation heritage. This is to ensure that there is a clear, systematic, predictable, and well-coordinated approach to soliciting, acquiring, utilising, managing, reporting, monitoring, and evaluating assistance from donors/partners and for expanding the resource base to ensure sustainable resource availability for implementation of the NaLHISA programmes in support of nation building.
