Africa Unity Square, Harare II
Photographed here on a rainy day, Africa Unity Square offers a shady retreat in the heart of Harare’s Central Business District. It is known for the photographers and flower-sellers who ply their trade here.
The square is laid out in the pattern of a British Union Flag, marking the site on which at around 10 a.m. on 13 September 1890 members of the colonists’ pioneer column tied the Union Jack at the end of a pole and hoisted it in the centre of the park before offering a prayer and firing salutes from two field guns. It was originally named Cecil Square in honour of Cecil Rhodes.
