Stellenbosch is the heart of South Africa’s acclaimed wine region and in this South African college town is a unique memorial to the country’s most highly regarded leader. It’s a intriguing design by local artist Strijdom van der Merwe, which sits in front of the Town Hall on Plein Street. Unveiled in October 2013, the Mandela Memorial Square exhibits a laser-cut steel silhouette of Mandela’s face, which appears on two sides of a concrete block clad in white marble. The remarkable thing about this sculpture is many visitors cannot see the face of Mandela but only abstract patterns. In every case, if they take a photo with their cellphone and look at the picture Mandela’s portrait is obvious.
If you visit South Africa don’t miss an opportunity to visit Stellenbosch and try South Africa’s great wines. Only 40 miles north of Cape Town with over a dozen great vineyards to visit and a number of tours to take.
