I've had an education in "Afrikaans" culture over the last few days. I visited the Union Buildings (look at the fine photo) This building houses the Presidents offices. Built from Sandstone and designed by Sir Herbert Baker. The 2 wings are symbolic of the English and Afrikaans languages. It was completed in 1913. Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as president here on 10 May 1994.
