Jubilee Square & Jetty

This guide to Jubilee Square in Cape Town follows Otto du Plessis, a former South African Navy diver who set out to honor his fellow divers with a monument the Navy itself refused to endorse. You'll hear how he and other veteran divers funded it themselves, donation by donation, and built it in secret on this jetty. It's a story about a brotherhood that raised its own tribute rather than wait for official permission, told at the very spot where the statue now stands.
