Signage: | The celebration of South Africa’s rich diversity, and the coming together of the different cultures, is what the artist sees as the essence of this clause. Three women of different races gather under an umbrella, a symbol of unity, while a group of people is dancing, rejoicing about the promise of a brighter future. The architecture merges elements of Islamic, Western, and African tradition. |
