- Heritage in the Built Environment Community Outreach Programme 2026

On 26 September 2026, stakeholders, built environment professionals, government representatives, community leaders and members of the public gathered at Liberty Hall, eThekwini, for the Heritage in the Built Environment Community Outreach Programme under the theme:

"Heritage in the Built Environment: Building Livelihoods and Stronger Communities."

Delivering the keynote address, Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure Dean Macpherson MP Dean Macpherson reminded attendees that:

"The infrastructure we build today will one day become someone else's heritage. Our responsibility is not only to build, but to build safely, build properly, and build in ways that make people's lives better."

Messages of support from Hon. Ms , Dr , CEO of the Council for the Built Environment (CBE), and Mr , eThekwini Ward Councillor, reinforced the importance of preserving heritage while ensuring that development creates jobs, supports local businesses and benefits communities.

A heartfelt thank you to all stakeholders, partners, speakers, organisers, exhibitors, community representatives, and attendees for contributing to the success of this important outreach programme. Together, we continue to preserve our heritage, build livelihoods and strengthen communities for generations to come.

Yesterday, the Council for the Built Environment brought the conversation on heritage into the spaces where South Africans live, work and build.

Speaking at the Community Outreach Programme in Avoca, Durban, the CEO of the CBE, Dr Msizi Myeza, reflected on the powerful relationship between heritage and the built environment.

“Heritage is not simply about preserving old buildings and monuments. It is about memory, identity, dignity and belonging.”

Our buildings, neighbourhoods, public spaces and places of worship tell the story of who we are, where we have come from and the South Africa we are working to build.

As we celebrate our living heritage, we are reminded that the built environment must not only preserve our history; it must also help create more inclusive, accessible and dignified communities for generations to come.

"When we preserve heritage, we preserve dignity. When we invest in infrastructure, we invest in opportunity." Hon. Ms

As we celebrate our living heritage, we are reminded that our languages, traditions, stories, heritage sites and built environment connect us to our past while creating opportunities for future generations. Preserving heritage is not only about honouring where we come from, but also about building stronger communities and sustainable livelihoods.
