Eastern Cape premier Phumulo Masualle unveiled a life size bronze statue of antiapartheid leader and longestserving ANC president Oliver Tambo at his Mbizana hometown yesterday.
The 1.7m statue cost R1.2million and was sculpted by the Koketso group, a company affiliated with Tambo’s son, Dali.
It is a second statue to be unveiled in the rural town as there already is another one at his Nkantolo village – which was burnt at a heritage site two years ago.
