(1) To encourage and participate in the preservation of the history and heritage of the Magaliesberg region. (2) To create awareness of and provide information about the rich history and heritage of the Magaliesberg region, both to people within South Africa and internationally. (3) To promote the development of heritage tourism in the Magaliesberg region, with resulting economic development and the creation of job opportunities for members of communities in the area. (4) To promote and obtain funding for the production of art works with a connection to the history and culture of the Magaliesberg region. In 2018, Mogale Arts received generous funding from the National Lotteries Commission (NLC). This funding has enabled Mogale Arts to accomplish the following objectives:
(1) Production of a memorial to Emily Back, heroine of the Battle of Koster River (22 July 1900). The memorial (which houses a sculpture of Emily Back) stands next to the Pieter Kruger Farmhouse on Paul Kruger's farm Boekenhoutfontein. (2) Renovation of the Old Schoolroom at Boekenhoutfontein, so that it can be used as a venue for training guides who can conduct heritage tours in the Magaliesberg region. The Old Schoolroom will also be used as a venue for giving presentations about Magaliesberg history and heritage to school children and other tour groups. (3) Production of a training manual to be used for the training of site and tourist guides in the Magaliesberg region. (4) Production of a book titled "Guide to the Museums and Monuments of the Western Magaliesberg Region". (5) Printing of copies of the map titled "South African War (Anglo-Boer War) 1899 - 1902: Battlefields of the Greater Magaliesberg Area". The National Lotteries Commission has also provided funding for marketing, and we are delighted that this has enabled us to launch a page and Instagram account for Mogale Arts.

We are very distressed to report that two bronze sculptures have been stolen from Kedar Heritage Lodge near Rustenburg. The one is a bust of President Paul Kruger, the other is a sculpture of the "Gentleman in Khaki" from Rudyard Kipling's poem "The Absent-minded Beggar". If you have any information which might help with the recovery of these sculptures, please contact us by Facebook message as soon as possible. Please share this post as widely as possible.

We are devastated by the passing of Robert Forsyth, Chairman of Mogale Arts and Heritage Development Company NPC. Robert, a true Heritage Champion, has greatly inspired many to work at protecting heritage and making it known. Let that work continue!

It is with a heavy heart that we have to share with you, the loss of our beloved chairman Rev. Robert Forsyth.

Mr Forsyth was involved in a fatal motor vehicle accident on Wednesday morning.

Our love, condolences and continued support to the Forsyth Family.

We endeavor to continue the legacy that Mr Forsyth has left and maintain the standards displayed to us.

We remember him as the righteous and great man that he was.

May his soul rest in peace with God Almighty.
