These photographs were taken on 12 June 2011 in New Brighton, Port Elizabeth by Ronnie Lovemore.
This is the second Mendi Memorial that I have been able to add to these pages, and like the one in Avalon seems to be in danger of loosing its context. The photographer remarked that a light has been taken from the top of the memorial and the area was filthy. The Google Street view of the memorial also showed an unmaintained and water sodden area that does not befit what it stands for. For more information about the Mendi, check my Wreck of the Mendi page. The Mendi Memorial can be found at the Google Earth co-ordinates 33° 54.379'S 25° 35.873'E or download the KMZ file
