The Department of Sports, Arts and Culture and the South African Heritage Resources Agency (Sahra) have filed an appeal in the high court regarding the auctioning of Nelson Mandela's belongings.
The department and Sahra argue that Mandela's life, experiences, and legacy are integral to South Africa's heritage and that it is crucial to preserve his legacy and ensure his work remains in the country for future generations. They also emphasize the importance of recording and telling stories that deepen South Africa's heritage.
