DAVID WEBSTER HOUSE
On an unassuming street in Troyeville a striking wall of mosaic celebrates the life of anti-apartheid campaigner David Webster, gunned down here in 1989 by the notorious hitman Ferdi Barnard. Webster’s partner Maggie Friedman worked with the artist Ilsa Pahl to create this exuberant display, helped by the close-knit Troyeville community. “We used an image by Paul Klee as our starting point,” says Pahl. They included hand prints from Webster and Friedman’s children and motifs to signify Webster’s connection to the landscape. Barnard is serving two life terms and more for this and other killings.
