1 Thibault Square, formally known as the LG Building and originally known as the "BP Centre", is a 126.5-metre (415 ft) modernist skyscraper on the European-style Thibault Square at the end of St George's Mall, Cape Town, South Africa.Work on the building began in 1969 and was completed in 1972. As of 2019 it is the second tallest building in Cape Town. The 34-degree diagonal twist, which puts it on a north–south axis, reduces sun loads on the façades, thereby reducing pressure on the air-conditioning system. To further shield the façades, a pre-cast screen is mounted on every floor, allowing good air flow and cutting off direct sun rays. This unique orientation also means that all the offices have views of either the mountain or the harbour, and that none stare straight into the façades of the surrounding buildings.At 11:55pm on October 1989 a bomb exploded outside the building causing no casualties or injuries.In 2006 the building was sold along with two other office buildings in Cape Town for R300 million and was at the time the largest Grade A commercial property in the city.Flanked by John Skotness' Mythological Landscape steel-and-bronze sculpture, the piazza below is a popular public space for office workers and visitors to the city. The building provides a focal point for Thibault Square.In 2008 the building was acknowledged in a national survey by the South African Institute of Architects to be one of the country's "good buildings".

The Purple March was an anti-apartheid protest held in Cape Town on 2 September 1989, four days before South Africa's racially segregated parliament held its elections. A police water cannon with purple dye was turned on thousands of Mass Democratic Movement supporters who poured into the city in an attempt to march on South Africa's Parliament. White office blocks adjacent to Greenmarket Square were sprayed purple four stories high as a protester leapt onto the roof of the water cannon vehicle, seized the nozzle and attempted to turn the jet away from the crowds.One of the dyed buildings was the Cape Headquarters of the National Party. The historic Town House, a national monument (now known as a provincial heritage site), was sprayed purple and the force of the jet smashed windows in the Central Methodist Church.Tear gas was fired and the crowd that had knelt defiantly in the purple jet fled. Adderley Street was closed to traffic as scores of shops and businesses closed their doors. More than 500 people were arrested, including Dr Allan Boesak, UCT academic Dr. Charles Villa-Vicencio, Western Cape Council of Churches official Rev. Pierre van den Heever, lawyer Essa Moosa, and 52 journalists.

The statue of Jan van Riebeeck lies alongside the statue of Maria van Riebeeck on Heerengracht Street in Cape Town, South Africa. Both statues stand with their backs to the sea looking south to Table Mountain. The statue was donated by Cecil Rhodes to the city of Cape Town. He paid the Scottish sculptor John Tweed £1,000 for the work, partly on the condition that the statue not show Tweed's name and be larger than life-size. The statue lies on a Cape granite pedestal 4¼ m high designed by an architect friend of Tweed's. This further inflated the cost. On 18 May 1899, Cape Town Mayor Thomas Ball unveiled the bronze statue in the presence of the entire City Council, national politicians, and members of the public, but in the absence of Rhodes, then sojourning in Europe. Rhodes chose to situate the statue where Van Riebeeck set foot ashore. Due to the development of the harbour and the city's growth, the statue has been overshadowed by skyscrapers. Over time, a large roundabout was developed at the site, once called Heerengracht, and in 1969, a statue of Maria van Riebeeck was laid to the right of her husband's. There is no image that can be said to certainly depict the founder of the Cape refreshment station. In the statue, Van Riebeeck's sword is sheathed, and he carries his walking stick in his right hand. The dress in the statue is historically inaccurate. Overhanging shoulder straps were out of fashion in the mid-17th century, and knee breeches and the jacker Van Riebeeck is wearing only became popular after his departure for Java. Hat feathers were in fashion, but are missing in the statue. Each year on 6 April, Founders Day, wreaths were laid at the statues of Jan and Maria van Riebeeck. In his poem, "Oor monnemente gepraat" ("speaking of monuments"), Peter Blum writes: here is Jan van Riebeeck, very handsome in his plus fours; .... In Van Riebeeck's birthplace of Culemborg is a bust of Van Riebeeck, donated by the Cape Town City Council.

A statue of Maria van Riebeeck (née de la Que(i)llerie) stands alongside that of her husband, Jan van Riebeeck, in a roundabout on Heerengracht Street in Cape Town, South Africa. It was a gift by the Netherlands to the people of South Africa to commemorate the first settlement of the Cape of Good Hope. On 2 October 1954, Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld, husband of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, unveiled the statue in front of the Iziko South African National Gallery in Company's Garden. In 1969, the statue was moved to its current location. The statue depicts Maria de la Queillerie's stately figure with a serious expression. She wears a circular collar and a wide skirt hangs from her cosseted waist. A coif keeps her hair out of her eyes. She carries a fruit basket in her left arm and a bouquet of flowers in her right hand, hinting at her interest in gardening and produce growing for the Cape refreshment station. There is no reasonably confirmed image of Maria de la Queillerie from her lifetime. The sculptor, Dirk Wolbers, is said to have therefore used his own wife as a model, in what was to be the last sculpture of his career. It was cast in bronze in Paris.
