Ngwao Boswa Kapa Bokone, Provincial heritage authority in Kimberley, South Africa
Ngwao Boswa Kapa Bokone is an authority in Kimberley that manages and protects around 130 sites of regional significance, including historical settlements, landscapes, and geological locations across the Northern Cape Province. It focuses on documenting and preserving these diverse places.
The authority was established in 2003 and took over duties from the National Monuments Council, with its first council meeting held in October of that year. This founding marked a shift to regional responsibility for heritage protection.
This organization protects diverse cultural elements such as buildings, oral traditions, historical settlements, burial grounds, and places linked to South African slavery history. These varied aspects show how the region's heritage lives on in physical locations and in people's memories.
The office is located in Monridge Office Park in Kimberley and can be reached by telephone at 079 036 9294. The website www.nbkb.org.za provides additional information about the sites it manages and its services.
The organization's logo features a rock engraving of an eland from Wildebeest Kuil Rock Art Centre, one of its first declared protected sites. This choice reflects the organization's deep connection to the region's art heritage.
