The unusual sculpture of Mandela in South Africa




It consists of 50 ten-meter high laser-cut steel plates set into the landscape, representing the 50th  year anniversary of when and where Nelson Mandela was captured and arrested, on August 6th 1962, prior to his 27 years of incarceration !!!

Standing at a particular point, columns come into focus and the image of Nelson Mandela can be seen.

The sculptor is Marco Cianfanelli, of Johannesburg, who studied Fine Arts at Wits.
