A picture taken on January 16, 2014 shows a sculpture depicting late South African president Nelson Mandela at the Union building in Pretoria, on January 16, 2014. Andre Prinsloo and Ruhan Janse van Vuuren, who sculpted the 9m bronze-plated statue, told a local newspaper that the rabbit in the ear of Mandela was a "small trademark" of their work, as the department had not allow them to engrave their signatures on the statues trousers. The South African government has ordered the removal of a rabbit that was secretly sculpted into a recently unveiled statue of Nelson Mandela, an official said on January 22, 2014. The artists who built the nine metre (30-foot), bronze colossus in Pretoria, added a rabbit into the ear of the statue, without clearance from government.
