Mandela Memorial



 It consists of 50 ten metre high laser cut steel plates set into the
landscape, representing the 50 year anniversary of when and where
Nelson Mandela was captured and arrested, on August 6, 1962 prior to
his 27 years of incarceration.  Standing at a particular point the
columns come into focus and the image of Nelson Mandela can be seen.

The sculptor is Marco Cianfanelli, of Johannesburg, who studied Fine
Art at Wits.
