    • The National Heritage Monument is a group of copper statues representing anti-apartheid activists, Zulu chiefs and missionaries in Groenkloof Nature Reserve, South Africa. The monument is meant to reflect the struggle for liberation going back into the 1600s. The project was started in 2010, but as of 2015, only has 55 statues. A total of 400 to 500 statues are planned. When complete, the monument will be called "The Long March to Freedom".


      History


      The idea for the project came from Dali Tambo in 2010, who is also the CEO of the National Heritage Project Company. The first of the statues were unveiled in September 2015 by Nathi Mthethwa, the South African Minister of Arts and Culture.
