JOHANNESBURG - Anti-Apartheid activist, Ahmed Kathrada was on Friday described by many as a person who always sacrificed so much for others and put other people before himself.
The sculpture of Kathrada is an addition to those of struggle icons, Nelson Mandela, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, Albertina and Walter Sisulu, Oliver and Adelaide Tambo, Bantu Steve Biko and many others. Kathrada Foundation Board chairperson Derek Hanekom said it was not only about the unveiling of Uncle Kathy’s statue, "but seeing all these statues, the 100 statues, which makes an incredibly impressive collection of statues depicting a long period of our history, 350 years of liberation history".
Chief Executive Officer of the National Heritage Project Dali Tambo said each time a statue is unveiled in The Long March to Freedom, it marks the first phase for that person, which comes from deep research, both historical, photographic and anecdotal.
