Happy it's not defaced or torn down. History is history.

Considering that there is usually a lot of traffic around you, this inaccurate statue of Jan van Riebeeck (there is no historical evidence that he ever looked like this) is only best enjoyed while taking an open top bus trip (red or blue bus) that is available to take from the nearby Vu0026A Waterfront. Walking in this part of the city is a bit hectic sometimes

Museums are always meaningful places and very neat .Just becareful of vagrants and suspicious people waking around.

Beautiful statue. Between 2 busy roads though so not a museum.

Surely some of the last remaining apartheid colonial statues that remains for now who knows how long it might still be around check it out before its gone.

The statue should be located in front of the castle of Goode Hope

It's a statue. Perhaps little maintenance is in order.
