This dissertation assesses the engagement of stakeholders in the management of

different site management plans of two relevant prehistoric rock art sites: Wildebeest
Kuil rock art site in the Northern Cape, South Africa and the Spitzkope rock art at the
Erongo Mountains, in Namibia. Thus including understanding the site management
and stakeholders engagements. The dissertation analysed data from grey literature,
secondary sources, field community engagements as well as site doucumentation
through a thematic content analysis. The key discussion point of the study looked at
the relevance of by the involvement of the community for the various dimensions of
the management of these sites. These included considering the different stakeholders
such as the National heritage councils, various institutions concerned with heritage
and rock art sites in Southern Africa, as well as local communities. The outcomes of
the research and data collection have showed that indeed the involvement
marginalised and lower social status communities is important for the management of
the studied sites.
