My favourite part of the story of renaming this street is that this is where the apartheid era South African consulate was located, so then the name changed, they had to put Nelson Mandela's name all over their stationary.
@scotnational.bsky.socialA statue of Nelson Mandela has been unveiled in Glasgow city centre, nearly 40 years after the city renamed a street in his honour 🙌
In a fitting tribute to the revolutionary and former President of South Africa, the sculpture now stands on a plinth of South African granite on Nelson Mandela Place
