The nine-metre (30ft) bronze statue has been erected at the Union Buildings. A statue of Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s first black president, has been unveiled in the capital, Pretoria, a day after he was buried.
The statue, with Mr Mandela’s hands reaching outward, was intended to show that he had embraced the whole nation. It followed a 10-day period of mourning and celebrating Mr Mandela’s life after his death at the age of 95.
