Our Heritage

My concern today is with the former which was described with breathtaking brevity by the Museum as a) a rain making pot and b) as being donated by Kgosi Linchwe II. Because this artifact, which must be one of the country's major cultural possessions I have been on and off battling for the last thirty years to obtain accurate information about it. My concern, however, has been shared at no time by the National Museum which has not only refused to become involved in discussions about it but has made claims which have merely served to ascerbate the matter.

Its decision to place this artifact on display, presumably because it is no longer aware that there exists any controversy about it - provides me with what may be my last chance to raise my concerns about it - which any professionally managed museum would have wanted to sort out long ago.
