City Hall:

A life-size bronze statue of a waving Nelson Mandela has been erected where the former statesman gave his first address as a free man in Cape Town on February 11, 1990.

Standing on the balcony of City Hall in Darling Street, the statue will now greet passing residents and tourists as well as well as hawkers who set up their stalls across the road at the Grand Parade every day.
