16. NELSON MANDELA BRIDGE Paris has its Eiffel Tower, New York its Statue of Liberty, Sydney its Harbour Bridge. On 20 July, Johannesburg opened the largest cable-stayed bridge in southern Africa. Who else to name it after but Nelson Mandela, the man who led South Africa across the apartheid divide? Together, the Newtown and Braamfontein developments form a "cultural arc" linking the Newtown Cultural Precinct with the Constitution Hill precinct. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_Mandela_Bridge

18. OLD FORT, CONSTITUTION HILL Johannesburg The Constitutional Court is a groundbreaking building that not only houses the 11 judges who guard South Africa's Constitution but also which stands as an icon of our new culture of democracy and human rights. It is fitting that the Court, a symbol of the democracy that replaced apartheid, has been built on the site of the Old Fort, Johannesburg's notorious prison - symbolising the triumph of hope over a troubled past. The building, which reflects the values of our new culture of constitutionalism, needed a court chamber, public areas, a library, public reading space and rooms for 11 judges and other staff. Few modern South African buildings have inspired as much awe and excitement as this one. http://www.constitutionalcourt.org.za/site/home.htm http://www.concourt.gov.za/text/tour/main.html http://www.doj.gov.za/trc/media/1997/9707/s970714b.htm
