Chris Hani Memorial, National heritage site and memorial in Boksburg, South Africa
The Chris Hani Memorial features a circular design with five concrete columns supporting a cantilevered roof over a granite bench in Thomas Nkobi Memorial Garden.
The assassination of Chris Hani in 1993 led to nationwide protests, prompting Nelson Mandela to call for peace and accelerating negotiations for democratic elections.
The memorial includes a Walk of Remembrance connecting to a wall that displays names of individuals who contributed to South Africa's liberation movement.
The memorial grounds contain indigenous plants from the Transkei region and offer dedicated spaces for visitors to gather during commemorative ceremonies.
The memorial structure stands at a precise 32-degree angle to Hani's grave, representing his years of membership in the South African Communist Party.
