Bloemfontein - The Freedom Park National Heritage Monument project has started in Bloemfontein in the hopes of raising awareness of South Africa’s history.
Delegates will be engaging with various stakeholders including the Free State house of traditional healers, curators and story tellers in Bloemfontein on matters of culture and history.
Freedom Park’s acting CEO Jane Mufamadi says during their seven-day tour they will meet with roleplayers in order to advance their efforts towards preserving the country’s history.
Mufamadi says even though the monument is located in Pretoria they aim to have their footprint in all nine provinces.
Freedom Park delegates will also be visiting schools and libraries in Bloemfontein where books about the country's heritage, history and culture will be donated.
Located on a 52-hectare site on the outskirts Pretoria, the heritage site incorporates a national monument, state-of-the-art interactive museum and memorial gardens.
