Walter Sisulu Square of dedication, Freedom memorial complex in Kliptown, South Africa
The Walter Sisulu Square features two distinct sections divided by a central monument, with nine smaller squares representing South African provinces.
In June 1955, over 2800 delegates gathered at this location to create and adopt the Freedom Charter against apartheid policies.
The Freedom Charter Monument displays bronze engravings of fundamental principles that shaped South Africa's 1996 constitution.
The eastern section of the complex contains market areas, retail spaces, and a multi-purpose hall for community activities.
Ten vertical columns stand along the eastern border, each representing core values from the Freedom Charter document.
