===Statues and memorials=== Within the grounds are various monuments, statues and memorials. Starting at the bottom of the gardens, a large statue of [[General]] [[Louis Botha]] (first prime minister of the [[Union of South Africa]]) on horseback dominates the lawn. About halfway up the terraces, the [[Delville Wood]] [[War Memorial]] is a tribute to South African troops who died during the [[First World War]] as well as a plaque in memory of those that died during the [[Korean War]]. Two levels above that is a [[Statue of Nelson Mandela, Union Buildings|statue]] of President Nelson Mandela. This replaced the statue of [[General]] [[J.B.M. Hertzog]], a former [[Prime Minister of South Africa|Prime Minister]], which can still be found on the grounds. The [[South African Police Memorial]] is located at the top right of the gardens. The [[List of digital television deployments by country#South Africa|South African National Film, Video and Sound Archives]] is also located in the grounds of the Union Buildings, adjacent to the Police Memorial.
