Sam Nzima to be buried at his cultural village site
Nzima will be laid to rest in Lillydale, Bushbuckridge this Saturday.
Sam Nzima’s son, Thulani, revealed last week that three-hectare land next to his newly-built home had already been allocated for a museum and cultural village.
“We agreed as a family that the site next to the house be our father’s resting place as it will carry his heritage and memories. It was designed specifically to preserve his iconic image of Hector Pietersen. The museum and cultural village will be a one stop shop using Sam Nzima’s name creating that space as a shride for the public,” said Thulani.
He further stated that a temporary tombstone will be erected on the day of the funeral and at a later stage a monument that will be a feature in the upcoming project will be set up.
