What is in a grave? Conflict between the Golden Gate Highlands National Park management and park inhabitants
This paper discusses the importance of graves which have become a source of conflict between the Golden Gate Highlands National Park (GGHNP) management and people residing in the park. The park management is currently in the process of relocating people who were historically living in the park before its proclamation as a national park. There is massive resistance from the park inhabitants, who vehemently argue that they cannot leave the graves of their relatives and ancestors. The GGHNP is one example of a national park in the world where humans have settled together with wildlife in the park. Living together as parks and people is a stimulant for competition on resource use and conflict on land use, land claims and economic benefits generated from the park. Drawing on focus group discussions, key informant interviews and personal observations, the conflict on graves involves an intense debate which is surrounded by conflicting values and perspectives. Because of this, it is not easy to find common ground owing to diametrically opposed cultural beliefs. Although it is quite clear that the park inhabitants and park management attach a different meaning and importance to graves, policy framework should acknowledge the importance of individual gravesites as they constitute vital indigenous cultural heritage.
