'Buang arnab dalam telinga Mandela'

[TT]

Kerajaan Afrika Selatan mengarahkan 'signature' berbentuk arnab yg dibuat oleh pembuat arca bekas Presiden Mandela tanpa kebenaran kerajaan segera dibuang bagi memastikan integriti Mandela tidak dicemari.

Pereka arca berkenaan sudah pun memohon maaf berikutan insiden itu.

Arca seberat 4.5 tan itu menelan kos RM2.45juta.

JOHANNESBURG: The South African government has ordered the removal of a rabbit that was secretly sculpted into a recently unveiled statue of Nelson Mandela.

The artists who built the nine metre (30-foot), bronze colossus in Pretoria, added a rabbit into the ear of the statue, as a signature, without informing officials.

"We want to restore the integrity of the sculpture as soon as possible," Mogomotsi Mogodiri, spokesman for the ministry of arts and culture told AFP.

The sculptors -- Andre Prinsloo and Ruhan Janse van Vuuren -- have apologised for the rabbit 'signature' without prior approval.

Built at a cost of eight million rand (about $740,000), the 4.5-tonne sculpture is the largest of Mandela statues erected around the world.

It was unveiled just a day after Mandela was buried.

Mandela, who became South Africa's first black president after 27 years in apartheid prisons, died on December 5, 2013 at the age of 95.
