Freedom park to celebrate Mandela
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados -The great South African leader and freedom fighter Nelson Mandela must be celebrated in life and in his ultimate departure of death. As such, Minister of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation, Ronald Jones, has asked that the Nelson Mandela Freedom Park, to be constructed at University Drive, Cave Hill, be a place of “spiritual reverence and peace”, so all those who visit the Park can celebrate his legacy and what he stood for.
Minister Jones’ comments came as he delivered remarks at the ground breaking ceremony for the Nelson Mandela Freedom Park held yesterday on the outskirts of the UWI Cave Hill Campus, amongst a clearing on the opposite side of the Keith Hunte Hall. During his address, Jones stressed that the anti-apartheid revolutionary leader will greatly be remembered for his slow walk to freedom (in 1990), after being jailed for 27 years and for his pursuit of not only freedom and equality, but for peace.
