TOPIC:

I do not recognise it and it clearly is not in the gardens in front of the Durban City Hall, where the one shown earlier is located. Adrian and Brian know the city better than I do, so perhaps they have the answer.

It may be that the ILN mismatched the picture and caption.

Hello Brett,
Do you happen to know if this is still standing in PMB?

That is the Anglo-Zulu War Memorial in Pietermaritzburg. As far as I know it is still there, but in seedier surroundings. The link below tells of a sad incident in its long history.

Brett,

Thank you for clarifying that. The link you provided was sad to read and I wonder if the statue will every be repaired.

Many thanks
David

Hello Brett,
That is good to hear, at least it still exists, I am rather surprised really, I did not think it would have survived to this day, in particular, with things the way they are these days!
Kind regards Frank

Perhaps it is lower down the priority list?
