Airport management agency the Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) has welcomed the unveiling of a statue of King Shaka Zulu at the King Shaka International Airport, in KwaZulu-Natal, on November 7.

The agency selected a prominent location for the statue, thereby ensuring it serves as an attraction for airport users and the broader local community while remaining in alignment with the airport's master plan.

ACSA will assume responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of the statue.

The statue stands as a tribute to King Shaka, who was a prominent leader and statesman who played a crucial role in shaping the Zulu nation and its history, ACSA states.

"The statue will not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of our airport but also serve as a symbol of pride and heritage for our community.

"We are committed to celebrating and preserving the rich culture of KwaZulu-Natal," says ACSA CEO Mpumi Mpofu.

Dignitaries in attendance for the historic occasion included His Majesty King Misuzulu KwaZwelithini, President Cyril Ramaphosa, Transport Minister Barbara Creecy, KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thamsanqa Ntuli, Members of Parliament and provincial MECs.
