The topic of Dongola faded from the attention of communitiescommunities, media and politicians for 17 years (from 1950 to 1966). However, this was not the end of the Dongola Wildlife SanctuaryDongola Wildlife Sanctuary because the idea of a protected areaprotected area was resurrected in the same vicinity in 1967 and again in 1986. This chapter accounts for why the idea of the Dongola Wildlife Sanctuary, which was repealed in 1949, was raised anew. The chapter also highlights the rationale behind the revival of Dongola as a protected area. The chapter found that the first and second attempts to resuscitate Dongola Wildlife Sanctuary in 1967 and in 1986 were unsuccessful, partly because the memories of the previous Dongola debacle were still fresh. The establishment of the 36,000-hectare Venetia Limpopo Nature ReserveVenetia Limpopo Nature Reserve by De Beers Consolidated MinesDe Beers Consolidated Mines in 1990, the rich archaeological sites found on farm GreefswaldGreefswald 37, and the political changes from apartheidapartheid to democracy in the early 1990s all contributed to the revival of Dongola as Mapungubwe National ParkMapungubwe National Park. It was found that the methods used by South African National Parks and its allies (Peace Parks FoundationPeace Parks Foundation, De Beers, National Parks Trust, and World Wildlife Fund for Nature in South Africa) to acquire the landland necessary for consolidating park land led to the displacementdisplacement of farm workers, with negative impacts on their lives and livelihoods.
