Mandela Statue Unveiled In South Africa Capital by underscore: 9:24pm On Dec 16, 2013
South Africa has unveiled a gigantic statue of anti-apartheid fighter Nelson Mandela at the Union Buildings in its capital. The mood was joyous Monday in Pretoria as a military band played and fighter jets flew overhead to honor Mandela after 10 days of mourning over his death ended Sunday with his burial. President Jacob Zuma presided over the unveiling, which preceded a party in celebration of the Day of Reconciliation, a national holiday.

The statue stands on the grounds of the Union Buildings, where Mandela delivered his inaugural speech after becoming South Africa's first black president in 1994. The buildings had been a hated symbol of the apartheid regime to many South Africans.Mandela was buried Sunday at his ancestral home in the village of Qunu.
