Society Gists

It was quite the scene at the Nelson Mandela Square in South Africa when a woman went to the Mandela statue, stripped naked and began to caress the statue. The young African woman astonished bystanders as she first saluted the statue of the liberation hero and then took off every single item of clothing she had on.

After hugging the statue for a bit, she then leaned her head against the knee of the gigantic statue. A waitress at a nearby restaurant told The Star newspaper that the woman’s actions, at around 4.00pm on a busy Monday, had caused a frenzy. Male waiters got their orders wrong and a male customer was hit on the head by his wife for getting up to take a closer look, she said.
The marketing manager of the Nelson Mandela Square, Megan Meas said a security guard had asked the woman to put on her clothes, which she did before leaving the square without answering any questions. “This was an unauthorised incident conducted by a private citizen in her personal capacity on our property,” Meas said.
