·         A sculpture of Chief Albert Luthuli in KwaDukuza

·         His grave, which is declared a national heritage site

·         An annual memorial lecture

·         The Luthuli Memorial Walk and Race

These components serve to honour the life of Chief Albert Luthuli as a liberation struggle icon of our country, as well and ensuring that his ideas, values, philosophies and vision are preserved.

Chief Albert Luthuli became South Africa’s most admired political leader, both in moral stature and international acclaim as testified by the Nobel Peace Prize Award he received in 1960. He stood as a moral giant of no comparison at a time when white supremacy was law and his humanity influenced a leadership ideology that appealed to all races; religions; and political formations. Chief Albert Luthuli lived a life of selfless dedication to the ideals of freedom, equality and social justice.
