Lukasrand Tower

Lukasrand Tower, Television tower in Lukasrand suburb, South Africa.

Lukasrand Tower is a 198-metre television tower on Muckleneuk Hill in Pretoria, the city's tallest structure. Its shaft consists of three concrete columns with angular cross-sections linked by multiple braces; one column ends at the upper hexagonal pod, the second at the middle operating level and the third at the lower one. A steel antenna tops the tower, and its exposed concrete and geometric forms place it in the Brutalist style.

The facility was constructed in 1978 and was originally named John Vorster Tower. Over time it became a central telecommunications installation and remains a technological landmark for the region.

In September 2009 a 24-metre fibreglass football, 50 tonnes and eight storeys high, was hung below the tower's cabin for the 2010 World Cup; Guinness World Records listed it as the largest football sculpture in the world. It was removed before August 2012.

The tower is not open to the public, so the observation deck cannot be visited; the structure is seen from outside. It stands on Muckleneuk Hill in the Lukasrand suburb, south of Pretoria's centre, and is clad in Telkom SA branding signs. The shaft is built from three braced concrete columns with an angular plan, ending in a hexagonal upper pod and a steel antenna.

The tower's shaft is formed by three concrete columns with angular cross-sections, linked by multiple braces; one column ends at the upper hexagonal pod, another at the middle operating level and the third at the lower one. Its exposed concrete and clear geometric forms place it in the Brutalist tradition.
