The Exile Repatriation Project is led by the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture (DSAC), in close partnership with the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (DoJ&CD), and the Department of Defence and Military Veterans (DMV). The Project is implemented by the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA), the Missing Persons Task Team (MPTT) with the support of the Freedom Park and the National Heritage Council.

There is an outdated discussion/concept document for the implementation of legacy projects, but no formal official policy on legacy projects.
The National Legacy Project (NLP), in the main, focusses narrowly on large scale heritage infrastructure development. This approach has no and/or does not clearly express clear linkages, integration and alignment with other forms of legacy and memorialization work being done.
This approach does not sufficiently and realistically consider the potential socio-economic impact of these projects, their affordability, sustainability, the lifespan of the National Legacy Project and the potential impact of changes in the environment.
The narrow focus also precludes a clear, integrated, coherent and systematic articulation of the effectiveness of all legacy and memorialization work being done, in contributing to social cohesion, nation building, socio-economic development, and other national outcomes aligned with the Government Wide-Monitoring and Evaluation System and National Evaluation Policy Framework.
A national policy is therefore required to assist the Department, together with its various partners and stakeholders, to better articulate the linkages, integration, and alignment with other forms of legacy and memorialization work being done. The policy should refocus efforts and improve the implementation of the original legacy project concept framework but also broaden this framework to better articulate its impact and the response to what the National Development Plan (NDP) calls for.
