1.1         Communities in Stellenbosch were forcibly removed in terms of the Group Areas Act of 1966, one of the pillars of the apartheid system. One of the most important institutions of these communities was the Lückhoff School. The community was forcibly robbed of its heritage and deprived of a space that they could morally claim as their own to shape into a place of memorialisation and of hope and as a pedagogical instrument that would continue to proclaim the messages of hope, justice, and restitution.

1.2         In the democratic era, after the demise of the apartheid system, the dispersed communities, together with Stellenbosch University (SU), the current owner of the building, are desirous to give effect to the intent of the national priorities of reconciliation, restitution, and social justice to address past injustices created by the apartheid regime. This includes giving back the use of the Old Lückhoff School premises to those who primarily made use of the building for their school education, and who were deprived, forcefully removed and displaced due to the previous apartheid regime.

1.3         The scope of beneficiaries for the primary re-use of the Old Lückhoff School premises is as follows:

Primary beneficiaries - those families who were forcefully removed to Cloetesville, Idas Valley and Kayamandi; alumni, teachers and their descendants, wherever they are in the world; and

Secondary beneficiaries - all other communities in and around the Greater Stellenbosch area.

1.1         Stellenbosse gemeenskappe is destyds kragtens die Groepsgebiedewet van 1966, een van die pilare van die apartheidstelsel, onder dwang uit die gebied verwyder. Een van die belangrikste instellings van hierdie gemeenskappe was die Lückhoffskool. Die gemeenskappe is van hulle erfenis ontneem en weggeruk uit ’n ruimte waarop hulle in morele sin kon aanspraak maak as hulle eie, om dit te omskep in ’n plek van herinnering en hoop, en ’n pedagogiese instrument om vir altyd die boodskap van hoop, geregtigheid en restitusie uit te dra.

1.2         In die demokratiese era ná die beëindiging van apartheid wil die ontheemde gemeenskappe en die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US), die huidige eienaar van die gebou, graag uitvoering gee aan die nasionale prioriteite van versoening, restitusie en sosiale geregtigheid om die onreg wat die apartheidstelsel veroorsaak het te help regstel. Dít sluit in om die gebruik van die Ou Lückhoffskool-perseel terug te gee aan diegene wat hoofsaaklik die gebou vir hulle skoolonderwys gebruik het en weens die vorige bestel daarvan ontneem, onder dwang verskuif en ontheem is.

1.3         Die begunstigdes van die hergebruik van die Ou Lückhoffskool-perseel is soos volg:

Primêre begunstigdes – die gesinne wat onder dwang na Cloetesville, Idasvallei en Kayamandi verskuif is; alumni, onderwysers en hulle nasate, waar in die wêreld hulle ook al is

Sekondêre begunstigdes – alle ander gemeenskappe in en om die wyer Stellenbosch-streek
