Right before his departure i talked to my hardcore republican neighbor. She was convinced he is a hero. I only asked her to think why POTUS refuses to say his name. I guess i failed cuz POTUS did say his name lately

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa โ€” A new, 9-metre sculpture of Nelson Mandela is billed as the biggest statue of the South African leader. It also has a tiny, barely visible quirk: a sculpted rabbit tucked inside one of the bronze ears.

 

South African officials want the miniature bunny removed from the statue, which was unveiled outside the government complex in Pretoria, the capital, on Dec. 16, a day after Mandelaโ€™s funeral. The department of arts and culture said it didnโ€™t know the two sculptors, Andre Prinsloo and Ruhan Janse van Vuuren, had added a rabbit, said to be a discreet signature on their work.

 

The bronze rabbit, sitting on its haunches with one floppy ear, is about half the height of the ear canal.

 

โ€œIt doesnโ€™t belong there,โ€ said Mogomotsi Mogodiri, a department spokesman. โ€œThe statue represents what everyone in South Africa is proud of.โ€
