Monuments to peace and freedom are found all across South Africa – not surprising, given its long history of struggle against oppression. BrandSouthAfrica looks back on 2016 – the 22nd year of South Africa’s freedom – and showcases 22 monuments that pay homage to the heroes who made this country great, amongst others some of the somewhat lesser known like the Heroes Park in East London with its three monuments in memory of the country's freedom fighters and its cultural diversity or the Freedom Charter Monument in Kliptown, where the Congress of the People met to draw up the Freedom Charter, an alternative vision to the repressive policies of the apartheid state.
