Statue of Paul Kruger, Bronze monument in Church Square, Pretoria, South Africa
The statue features Paul Kruger in a top hat and presidential sash, standing with four Boer soldiers positioned at each cardinal direction.
Created by Anton van Wouw in 1896, the monument arrived at Lourenco Marques during the Anglo-Boer War and remained there until its installation in 1954.
The statue represents the period of Boer leadership in the Transvaal region, with the soldiers depicting both Voortrekker and contemporary military attire.
Visitors can reach the monument by public transport or car, with parking facilities available near Church Square in central Pretoria.
The bronze figures underwent multiple relocations before finding their permanent position, including time at Prince's Park and the Pretoria railway station.
