Thanks everyone for this. Just an idea depending on the time to "tie in" with the Pretoria workshop which I know is train the trainers but could be an optimization of resources etc....The timeline is advanced already and will check my work/travel schedule to see how best I am able to contribute but very excited about this....

I like this. Some additional input:

Most monuments in South Africa are also registered as Heritage Sites by the
South African Heritage Resources Agency

Photos and categories on Commons should add the following template,
{{South African Heritage Site|1=xxxx}} where is the SAHRA id for the monument.

SAHRA maintains a searchable database at
