    Site History

    This composite memorial records the deaths in 1990, 1991 and 1992, of MK combatants who died in the nearby Barkly Pass as well as community members who were killed protesting. The shooting of community members celebrating the release of Nelson Mandela is also a reminder that apartheid police continued with their repression well after the country was beginning its transition to democracy. The memorial was officially unveiled on 21 March 2000.
