SA’s peacemakers to become tourism drawcard

IN order to consolidate and advance reconciliation in South Africa, the Western Cape provincial government has decided to undertake a major new project at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. The project will celebrate the contribution to South Africa of its four Nobel Peace Prize laureates - Albert Luthuli, archbishop Desmond Tutu, and former presidents, Nelson Mandela and FW de Klerk. Designed to add significantly to the process of nation-building the project also has the potential to become a new international and domestic tourism draw-card for visitors to the province. Details of the project will be formally announced at an event on Sunday (December 14) at the V&A Waterfront. The event will be attended by some of South Africa's most prominent and respected leaders, and will set the tone for the implementation of the project. (Miguel de Sousa)
