13 August 2020 - NW1799
Van Dyk, Ms V to ask the MINISTER OF SPORT, ARTS AND CULTURE
Whether any approved funding for any historical archaeologist has been stopped by the National Museum in Bloemfontein; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, in what field of research? NW2190E
Reply:
The Museum does not have a position titled historical archaeologist and therefore no approved funding has been received or stopped. The Department of History at the Museum employs four historians and a number of support staff. The Department of Archaeology and Anthropology employs two archaeologist and a number of support staff.
