Art & Places: Nobel Peace Prize Laureates statues, Cape Town
When visiting V & A Waterfront, Cape Town, South Africa, one cannot miss a row of Nobel Peace Prize Laureates statues at the Nobel Square.
When my husband and I came across these four statues, we were excited to take photos. The four statues are arranged in a neat row for us to pose by, with the added bonus of Table Mountain as a backdrop–a photo opportunity not to be passed up!
The four Laureates are Albert Lithuli (1960), Desmond Tutu (1984), FW de Klerk (1993) and Nelson Mandela (1993). The larger-than-life-sized statues are casted in bronze and were the work of renowned Cape Town artist, Claudette Schreuders. These bronze statues were built to honour South Africa’s four Nobel Peace Prize Laureates for the role they played in achieving peace and democracy.
Nobel Square is situated just beside Waterfront Art Market.
My husband posing with the statues. His favourite is of course, Mr. Mandela. I tell about the giant red crates statue later in another post.

Eer, only two persons that I’m familiar with – Mr Desmond Tutu and Mr Nelson Mandela! 😛
mazny
Sorry guys, not really into South African history though.
mazny
Even the Malaysian history pun, I think, 50-50! Ceh! 🙁
mazny
Nowadays, they learn history through comic!
mazny
Betul! I just bought a history revision books for my girl, and guess what? They are full with illustrations and dailogues!
mazny
Beruntung kan, budak-budak sekarang?
mazny
At least they have the colourful pages full of illos to study with… not like us… boring!
mazny
Alamak, I didn’t mean history is boring! Weh, demotivate budak-budak pulak nanti.
mazny
Dear students, belajar sejarah betul-betul, okey? It’s fun because… now you could google online for more informations. And there are a lot of interesting facts and photos which are not included in your textbook! 😛 (ayat cover line lol)
mazny
By the way, History is a must pass subject! So, jangan main-main. 😉
mazny
Oh, patutlah saya cari-cari tak jumpa!
mazny
Tak apa, kak. Kami boleh tunggu untuk baca kisah si Elliot ni.
jaja

imaisha
From that four Laureates, only knows about Nelson Mandela.. tapi Desmond Tutu pun mcm rings a bell.. the other 2 mcm tak tau langsung.. kesian je.. gonna google later..
imaisha
I’m thankful that my history teacher was a lot of fun during school days. Otherwise, I wouldn’t manage to get A.. so many facts to memorize =_=
