 Kruger's Pretoria
Second Edition Fully updated, corrected and re-set, this second edition documents those buildings that have disappeared since 1971 and the prospects for those that remain. It also gives short accounts of the people - Boers and British South Africans - who built the city, as well as some who visited and wrote about it. From the preface... This book had it origins, which it betrays on every page, in daily journalism, a series of feature articles for The Pretoria News written between 1968 and 1970. Since then much has changed and that era now seems as remote as Kruger’s did in 1970. The original text is reprinted with only minimal editing. Pretoria today is, of course, a different place, not just politically but in the street scene. Though many of the buildings discussed in Kruger’s Pretoria survive in 2005, some of them have disappeared, such as the old Town Hall and the first Opera House. |
