Johannesburg - Environmental Affairs Minister Valli Moosa on Sunday unveiled a plaque at the Hector Peterson Memorial Square at Orlando West in
Soweto.
The plaque was earlier this year temporarily removed from the site to allow for the first phase of the construction of a museum on the site.
The second phase of the project was launched on Sunday.
Moosa said the construction of the site would create about 2 500 jobs and was expected to create more permanent jobs when completed by September 2001.
It was also aimed at improving tourism in Soweto, he said. - Sapa
