Statue of Oliver Tambo unveiled in north London
A NEW statue of South African revolutionary Oliver Tambo has been unveiled as a tribute to the man who kept the “flame of hope burning” against apartheid.
The monument is in Albert Road Recreation Ground, north London, near to the house of the longstanding president of the African National Congress (ANC).
The event was attended by ANC veterans and the South African embassy, as well as Labour MPs Bambos Charalambous, Catherine West and shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry.
