This image includes an architectural or artistic work photographed in a public space in South Africa. The South African Copyright Act 1978 (as amended) does not provide a freedom of panorama exception for photography of creative works in public spaces.

Although the photographer owns the copyright to the image, the original creator retains copyright over the artistic work depicted in the photograph. As a result, photographs of copyrighted artistic works in public spaces are not permitted under South African copyright law, which does not conform to Commons:Licensing. Exceptions apply only if the copyright has expired, placing the artistic work in the public domain, such as older colonial monuments.

Additionally, the Designs Act, 1993 (as amended) allows for photographs of functional structures like dams and bridges, as they are considered principles of construction and functional designs, dictated solely by their intended purpose.

See Commons:CRT/South Africa § Freedom of panorama for more information.

If a copyrighted architectural or artistic work is contained in this image and it is a substantial reproduction, this photo cannot be licensed under a free license, and will be deleted. Framing this image to focus on the copyrighted work is also a copyright violation.
