The aim is to make Gugulethu one of the tourist destinations of the city, he said.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are going to install it at the entry to the area, where it will be easy for people to see. It will have historical events related to the area depicted or inscribed on it, for people to see or read and be informed. Such an objective has the potential to create jobs for tourist guides.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gugulethu Development Forum (GDF) secretary Vincent Domingo said he can hardly wait for the installation to take place, because it has far reaching implications for the area.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;As the GDF we are fully supportive of the initiative; we are hoping it will bring all the positive into the area. We supporting all initiatives or developments that bring positive change to our community. We believe our people, especially young people, will benefit the most from something like this, for they will learn the dynamic history of our area.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Gugulethu Memorial Monument installation is set for August, aiming to enhance tourism and community engagement in the
