Historians are worried about the destruction of memorials in Kimberley in the Northern Cape. Priceless statues, plaques, and memorials are being destroyed, allegedly destined for scrap metal yards.

Kimberley’s Sol Plaatje municipality is battling to deal with this crime as many of these historic sites are defaced and destroyed.

“I don’t think this particular destruction has anything to do with politics or historical consciousness and so on. This is purely trying to get scrap metal probably was chopped up and then taken off to scrap metal merchant,” says Historian Prof David Morris. But there are still memorials in the City not everyone is happy with. A Campaign has been running for years to remove the statue of Cecil John Rhodes. But historians believe memorials should depict the good and bad of history.

To hell with these useless statues....when our people are hungry

I don't condone this but if our leaders were not corrupt, all this happening in our country was not gonna be at this level. The big LOOTERS are in the leadership of this country and you need to practice what you Preach

All colonial statues should be removed in our cities and be replaced by our hero's, kings and queens. We should also rename our places to their original names not these 'Kimberly' colonial names.
