Abstract:
Approaching the city of Pretoria/Tshwane from the
south, one is greeted by three monumental structures
perched atop three hills surrounding Pretoria, from
west to east: the Voortrekker Monument, Freedom
Park, and the University of South Africa (UNISA), each
one of them a dense conglomeration of symbols, emblems,
and icons forged out of concrete, rock, earth and
stone. Not far behind this formidable threesome follows
another massive fortress marking the entrance
to the city – Pretoria Central Prison.
