Statue of Jan Hendrik Hofmeyr

The statue of Jan Hendrik Hofmeyr in Church Square, Cape Town, is a sculpture of the South African journalist and politician Jan Hendrik Hofmeyr, affectionately known as "Onze Jan" (Our Jan). The statue was sculptured by Anton van Wouw. In April 2015 it was wrongly reported that the statue had been vandalised as part of a wider campaign against statues of colonial-era figures in South Africa.
