Cape Town – The Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation weighed in on the Rhodes statue debate on Friday, proposing that a statue of UCT’s chancellor, Graça Machel, could be erected on the university’s campus.

It added that a monument to the white UCT students who played a role in the anti-apartheid struggle should also be considered.

In a statement written by its executive director, Reverend Canon Mpho Tutu, the organisation credited students on campus for sparking an “important societal debate”. However, she said they had no right to destroy “our history, as some are threatening to do”.
