The memorial to Nelson Mandela in Liverpool has been vandalised repeatedly

7 hours ago

A memorial to former South African President Nelson Mandela has been vandalised days after being reopened to the public.

The stone structure was officially unveiled in Princes Park in 2023 by Mandela's daughter and granddaughter, but vandals pushed into the park's lake.

It was repaired and given a new home at the entrance to the Mandela memorial garden.

However Sonia Bassey, the chair of Mandela 8 - the organisation which commissioned the stone - said vandals have struck again.
