A walk of fame styled installation is set to launch in Rosebank CBD. The attraction will mimic the iconic ‘Hollywood Walk of Fame’, and pay tribute to South African greats in various disciplines.
The Walk’s home, approved by the Lower Rosebank Management District, is a permanent honour dedicated to former president Nelson Mandela and other South African and African greats.
Spots on ‘The Walk’ will be awarded to those who have excelled in radio, music, sport, film, television, performing arts and more.
Those honoured on ‘The Walk’ will be individuals “who have rendered unparalleled service to their fellow citizens by enduring and making selfless contributions to charitable causes and by their altruistic deeds achieved exalted recognition,” according to a statement released by the NGO.
According to “The Walk of Stars” Executive Producer, Phineas Tichana, “the Walk is set to be a huge resource for Rosebank and mega marketing tool for Johannesburg to promote tangible heritage as an open air museum, enhance the business, cultural, and civic well-being of South African and African achievement. More so, it directly speaks to the ‘We are Africa’ campaign at this time. It’s the best thing set to ever happen in the Rosebank precinct.”
Included in the long list of inaugural inductees are Ladysmith Black Mambazo, TV Host and former Miss South Africa, Rolene Strauss.
Also on the list is Francois Pienaar, a retired South African rugby union player and key political figures like Andrew Mlangeni, Ahmed Kathrada, and George Bizos.
