The completed memorial will include a ‘Freedom Bridge’, a pavilion and 32 cylindrical stone-works inscribed with inspirational Mandela quotes. These pedestals represent the oil drums used to grow an allotment on the rooftop of Pollsmoor Prison where Mandela was held for part of his prison sentence. Sonia Bassey, Mandela8 chair said: "We wanted to conclude the visit of Nelson Mandela's family to Liverpool with something really special and this festival is set to be just that. We're delighted with the line-up Africa Oyé have put together and can't wait to see everyone celebrating in Princes Park."
