Named after Tembisa born anti-apartheid artist and activist Thami Mnyele, the Thami Mnyele Cultural Park is an expansive open green space located in the geographic Centre of Tembisa. The initial intention of the municipality was to create a public facility that embraced the creative and communal values of an understated hero. Located within the dense fabric of the township, this public open space has the potential to become a valuable public spatial asset on a communal, urban and municipal/city scale.
