Union Buildings Bells Arcadia Pretoria

Thread Category:

Thread Location:
Gauteng

Pretoria

The famous bells fell silent about two years ago and there was a minor fuss. The Department of Public Works had to get a specialist from overseas to repair them but they have gone silent again. Does anyone know what is going on? Any updates will be welcome. [Originally published 6 October 2015]
