About Kimberley › Historic Buildings & Monuments › Frances Baard Bronze Statue

Frances Baard bronze statue

Frances Baard was a South African trade unionist and organiser for the ANCWL (African National Congress Women's League) and it is after her whom the District Municipality is named and in whose honour this statue is dedicated.

In commemoration of her role in the Women's March on 9th August 1956, a bronze statue of her was unveiled in Kimberley in 2014, with the inscription on the granite plinth reading, 
"My spirit is not banned. I still say I want freedom in my lifetime."

You can see this statue at the corner of Bulfontein Road and Lennox Road.
