Ntaba kaNdoda, Memorial monument in Dimbaza, South Africa

Ntaba kaNdoda is a memorial in Dimbaza, South Africa, designed by Zakrzewski Associates and opened on 14 August 1981. Its centrepiece is an open-air arena with seating for 18,000 people, used for conferences and political gatherings. A life-size statue of Ciskei President Lennox Sebe stood here.

The memorial was established in 1981 during the Ciskei homeland era under the direction of President Lennox Sebe. The project was created to honor Xhosa chiefs and mark an important chapter in the region's political history.

The site honors the memory of Khoi Chief Ndoda and reflects how communities here maintain connections to their leadership history. Local gatherings at this place show how people continue to mark important occasions and remember their past.

The memorial stands near Dimbaza in the Amathole District, on elevated ground reached by road; the open-air arena held 18,000 seats, so walking distances inside the complex are long. The site suffered repeated vandalism and decay after the Ciskei homeland was dissolved, so paths and structures may be overgrown or damaged. There are no guided tours or visitor facilities; come self-sufficient and allow time to walk the grounds.

The Heroes Acre was planned as a burial field for politically deserving figures, including the Ciskei chiefs, but not everyone agreed: a loyal Mfengu chief refused the offer. The monument also appeared on a 20-cent Ciskei stamp issued on 4 December 1986.
