I sent the same to Bob about an hour ago

Many decades I took a walk in Centenary Park, Bulawayo, and literally fell over two Rhodes' statues in the backyard of the museum. The other statue came from the then Jameson Ave, Salisbury. I have always wondered what ever became of the metal..

If there is a statue of PW Botha anywhere I will personally go and break it down..whata pig

after reading sealegs response I am changing my post. Yes sealegs is correct as two wrongs don't make a right and yes Botha was a racist pig but destroying his statue wont resolve anything, in fact it will just make the people that supported him pissed off which would lead to more violence.

Thats the problem with RSA...no shortage of people that can destroy things.
Very big shortage of people that can build/create things

I need a team and someone to help me strategise a plan. I need to remove a commemorative ornament from a once famous place of departure/arival and give it a home it truly deserves. This place is still functional but most of it has been wrecked and "stolen" bar the commemorative. Everybody else has forgotten abt this piece but I know it is there because I am tall and I saw it there!!! I dont think it will take much. Sorry if I am talking in riddles.

Fallen symbols

In 2003, when US tanks rolled into Baghdad and ousted the government of Saddam Hussein from power there were celebrations in the main square.
Iraqi men tried to pull down a huge statue of Saddam Hussein but were unable to. US troops then joined in and used an armoured vehicle to dismantle it.
The scene was watched live on television by millions of people around the world.



In 2011, Libyan rebels took Col Muammar Gaddafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound in Tripoli, one of the final areas that remained in his control after an uprising.
Footage on local television showed fighters breaking off the head of a statue of the leader and kicking it along the ground.



In December 2013, anti-government protests erupted in the streets of the Ukrainian capital Kiev, after the government refused a deal on closer ties with the European Union.
Protesters, who opposed a customs union with Russia, toppled a statue of Russian revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin and smashed it with hammers.
It sparked the destruction of Lenin statues in various other Ukrainian cities..



The statue of Felix Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the first Soviet secret police force, the Cheka, was removed from Moscow's Lubyanka Square in 1991.
It came after the collapse of a coup against the then Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev.
The Cheka was one of the former names of the KGB. Throughout the Communist era it was responsible for abducting, torturing and killing many thousands of people.



In 2013, a bronze statue of French footballer Zinedine Zidane's infamous 2006 World Cup final headbutt was taken down from the Corniche in Doha, Qatar.
The sculpture, by an Algerian-born French artist, had only been installed a few weeks earlier, but prompted outrage from Muslim conservatives who believed it encouraged idolatry.
Others thought it promoted violence or was in bad taste. It portrays Zidane headbutting Italy's Marco Materazzi.
