Ramaphosa unveils statue honouring OR Tambo

Struggle icon OR Tambo was honoured in Kempton Park today.

President Cyril Ramaphosa unveiled a 9-meter statue in his honour.

Tambo would have turned 103-years-old today.

The Democratic Alliance previously opposed the commissioning of the statue,

saying the final cost of the statue is about R11.5 million of taxpayers' money.

An African studies scholar from the University of Pretoria says it is important to honour heroes like Oliver Tambo.

But along with other South Africans she is asking whether that money could have been better spent.
