The final journey and resting place of most the liberation struggle heroes ends at Phahameng Cemetery in Phahameng, Mangaung, at an ANC Heroes Acre part of the cemetery. Unfortunately, the heroes’ acre does not provide a collective monumental commemorative and iconic presence for the Province’s liberation struggle heroes. This Thesis project seeks to consolidate this struggle history and collectively commemorate the liberation struggle heroes of the Free State, by creating a living memoriam in one of the first townships in Free State Province’s capital city, Bloemfontien. This project focuses on all liberation struggle heroes and heroines of the Free State: Celebrated heroes, fallen heroes, and nameless heroes, and seeks to create an iconic, memoriam by placing a sacred place in memory of the liberation struggle heroes of the Free State Province.enLiberation struggleFree StateDissertationUniversity of the Free State
