The National Museums and Monuments of Zimbabwe has embarked on the restoration of the Nalatale Cultural Heritage Site which has been neglected for years. A NMMZ official told the Zimbabwean that the site, one of the country’s ancient and most treasured monuments, has been identified as one of the 67 threatened heritage sites that need funding for restoration under the 2012 world monuments watch. “We have mobilised some funds to restore the monuments,” said the official.
