NATIONAL DAYS PROGRAMME• The Department of Arts and Culture was coordinating all of the national days

as per June 2012 Cabinet decision.

• All the National days in 2014 happened under the main theme of celebrating 20 Years of Freedom and Democracy (20YoF). Themes for all national days were informed by communication document and massages as prepared by GCIS.

• The themes and national days were used to set the tone for each month that had a commemorative day.

• National days were also used as a vehicle to foster social cohesion, nation building, national identity, socio-economic development, and to put an end to attacks on foreign nationals, racism, discrimination and homophobia.

• Furthermore, national days were used as a platform to create awareness through educational programmes, dialogues and public engagements on the importance of a participatory inclusive society in making the future plans of South Africa.

• An effort was made to spread the celebrations and commemorations accordingly in all provinces to maximise participation and ownership

GENERAL CHALLENGES• The failure to attract diverse population groups.• Lack of synergy among the three spheres of government.• Competitive and parallel commemorative environments.• Perceived wastage of resources and extravagance as there

would appear to be little lasting legacy and impact.• Low levels of financial support from Provinces with regard to

logistical implementation.• Subcontracting of local service providers with no capacity leads

to non delivery on certain key logistics• Late withdrawal on financial and procurement commitments

lead to non compliance on procurement processes

THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES PROGRAMMERivonia Trial Dictabelt Project

•After the Agreement between DAC and the French L’INSTITUT NATIONAL DE L’AUDIOVISUEL (INA) was signed on 20 December 2013, the first batch of Dictabelts was couriered to Paris, France on 12 October 2014 by 2 archives officials . The collection has been inaccessible for the past 50 plus years due to the obsolete technology [dictabelt] that was used to record the proceedings of this landmark case in the history of SA.

•INA has now already digitised a number of these dictabelts and staff at the NVFSA are currently busy transcribing them.

•After completion of this phase of the project the next phase of training South African Archivists to digitise the dictabelts, will start.

Revamping of the NAAIRS and the new NARSSA Website Projects

•The status of the Revamping of the NAAIRS Project is at 93%. Staff is currently loading content to the new NARSSA website. Due to the interdependency between these projects they will be implemented concurrently. It is planned that staff will start with the testing of the interface between new website and the new Electronic Archival Management System in the middle of October 2015.
