Where in the World (497)

Answer to edition 496

The key to identifying the city was to identify the statue. It is a statue of South Africa’s one time leader Nelson Mandela. The colonial era buildings behind are the Union Buildings, South Africa’s parliament. These are found in the city of Pretoria.
