Long March to Freedom

Welcome to Long March to Freedom, the world’s greatest exhibition in bronze, and South Africa’s most enticing heritage tourism attraction. A pantheon of 100 life-size bronze sculptures of liberation heroes honours South Africa’s brightest and bravest icons and tells the story of the country’s 350-year journey to freedom and democracy.

At the heart of meaningful tourism experiences lies integrity, depth, culture and heritage. South Africa's cultural and political heritage is one of the country’s most valuable assets. Our struggle was the moral cause of the international community and the greatest solidarity movement of the 20th Century and it is the duty of the generation that remembers to ensure that those who follow know of the efforts of legions of freedom fighters, know of our journey to democracy, and understand the sacrifices that allow us to have the society we do today.

People who visit our shores often say: 'We have seen the beauty of your landscapes and beaches, the majestic wildlife and more, but we still didn’t know you as a people. Where do we go to understand South Africa's journey to freedom?’ I believe this exhibition delivers that story, through the lives of the countless souls who never saw that freedom but ensured we would. The time will come when Long March to Freedom is a ‘must see’ heritage tourism attraction for foreign tourists, and South African’s will visit time and again, revelling in and humbled by this glorious statement of national pride. Here’s wishing you an inspiring and uplifting journey with us today.
