Union Buildings in Pretoria
Posted on January 10th, 2009 in historic | 2 Comments »
The Union Buildings in Pretoria are home to the form the official seat of the South African government and also house the offices of the President of South Africa, and have always been central to South African history. It is here that Nelson Mandela became the state President in 1994, changing the face of South Africa. The beautiful gardens around the Union Buildings are very well maintained, and offer a lovely garden park to stroll through and relax.

Great idea, fantastic site. Just one thing though, parliament is not in the Union Buildings, but in Cape Town. The Union Buildings is home to the Executive part of the government. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the heads up Helen, I had been misinformed. Fixed the article.
