In the Groenkloof Nature Reserve, Pretoria, you will find life-size statues of historical figures. These are bronze statues of fighters against apartheid, heroes and heroines who fought for the people's freedom. About a hundred statues frozen in motion celebrate the rights and power of man. The statues became open to the public in 2015, and since then many new ones have been added to the already installed figures. This place gives hope for a bright future not only to South Africans but all who have seen the proud figures with their own eyes.
