Case Decision

  • The intention is to analyse the excavated material in Tübingen. An export permit to export the material outside the country should be obtained from SAHRA.

Please be advised as follows:- 

  1. No deviation will be permitted without the prior written approval of KwaZulu-Natal Amafa and Research Institute.
  2. It is the responsibility of the Applicant to ensure that artefacts are preserved in their original state while in his/her possession. 
  3. The KwaZulu-Natal Amafa and Research Institute does not issue an export permit for scientific analysis; however, it states clearly that the Institute supports the issuing of the export permit by the South African Heritage Resources Agency on condition that the Agency deems the application for export compliant.  
  4. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE CONDITIONS WILL RENDER ANY ACTIVITY CONDUCTED UNLAWFULLY, AND THE KWAZULU-NATAL AMAFA AND RESEARCH INSTITUTE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL THIS PERMIT AND INSTITUTE CRIMINAL AND/OR CIVIL ACTION AGAINST THE PERSON(S) RESPONSIBLE.
