Nelson Mandela Square is dominated by a massive , bronze tribute to the moral voice of South Africa’s struggle for freedom and reconciliation. The statue, nearly 20 feet tall, dominates one end of a square in Sandton, the posh white suburb of Johannesburg that has emerged as the nation’s post-apartheid business capital. Unveiled in March 2004, this is the first public statue of Mandela. But it doesn’t stand in the forecourt of a government agency. It marks the entrance to a fancy mall, built in the 1990s and renamed after Mandela in 2004.
Hey Vrinda aka Kuhu, We were at Pula (Croatia) early this year and Venice was right across the sea. We deliberated a lot but then decided to keep Venice for a later day, with more time at hand.
When we do, I hope I remember all the tips. Thank you.
We would love to switch places! Please share some tips on Pula. Happy travels! :)
