- President Ramaphosa stressed the immeasurable value of Mandela and Tambo’s contributions to the liberation struggle.
- The statues at Moses Mabhida Stadium and Durban north beachfront commemorate the nation’s resistance history.
- The Democratic Alliance criticized the R22 million expenditure, urging funds be redirected to pressing service delivery challenges.
- City officials reported that 60% of water is lost due to neglected, outdated pipelines.
The cost of what they contributed to our struggle is incalculable. We cannot even begin to count what it cost for us to be where we are. In stone and bronze, we continue to write our history. Not the history of those who held power unjustly but the history of those who refused to let injustice have the final word.— Cyril Ramaphosa on the Mandela and Tambo statues, Durban, March 4, 2026.
