CAPE TOWN - Statues of notable individuals are placed throughout the country.
Last month, the Zulu Royal House erected a statue of the nation's founder at King Shaka International Airport.
It cost government R3.3-million.
On Thursday, a life-sized statue of the late Kader Asmal was unveiled in Cape Town by Dali Tambo's non-profit company, the National Heritage Project.
