Sarah Baartman grave & memorial at Hankey
The plaque on the Sarah Baartman commemorative stone at Hankey has either fallen off or been stolen, and was it really planned to to be planted at that angle? The fenced-off grave of her remains is unlocked and anyone can walk inside. Hankey. Eastern Cape.  Good custodianship and care?
Will the multi-million rand Sarah Baartman memorial at Hankey follow in the footsteps of previous Eastern
Will the multi-million rand Sarah Baartman memorial under construction at Hankey follow in the footsteps of previous Eastern Cape memorials?

There are hundreds of millions of Rands of foreign donor funding in these projects.  It should be an embarrassment to every South African.
