Abstract
Heritage awareness and education in Africa is vital to heritage management. The knowledge of pre-colonial Stone Walled Structures (SWS) and Iron Age is an important element of South African history. Without awareness and education of both heritage managers and heritage stakeholders, SWS are at risk of destruction from development. This chapter reviews awareness and information dissemination techniques that can make people more aware of SWS in southern Gauteng Province. The results of the author's study revealed there are international best practices such as the use of information centres, education, and information technology tools that can apply in this study area.
