The ANC Caucus welcomes the latest addition of the South African Human Rights and Liberation struggle sites to the prestigious list of The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

The property represents the legacy of the South African struggle for human rights, liberation, and reconciliation. It consists of fourteen parts located around the country, all related to South Africa’s political history in the 20th century.

It includes the Union Buildings, Constitution Hill, Liliesleaf farm, Sharpeville memorial, Walter Sisulu Square, 16 June 1976: The Streets of Orlando West, University of Fort Hare and ZK Mathews House, Mqhekezweni, Waaihoek and Ohlange.

These places reflect critical events linked to the long struggle against the apartheid state, Mandela’s influence in promoting understanding and forgiveness, and belief systems based on philosophies of non-racialism, Pan-Africanism, and ubuntu.
