From the angle of the photo, and the view of Lion's Head in the background, I'd say there's a fair chance that you worked out that this here is the entrance to Cape Town's parliament buildings, and that the well-known Company's Gargens are more or less to the right of this photo, just behind the parliament buildings.
While thinking about this photos I realised that I've never visited the buildings - and I'm not actually aware whether or not the public can easily gain entrance. Do you perhaps know?

There is a visitor center in the parliament tower (Marx Building). You just need your ID and then you can go for a tour of Parliament and even attend the National Assembly, if you like to see MPs screaming at eachother.
The center is also in Plein street right next to parliament under the Marx Building.

When you stand where you stood to take your cracks in government photo, just walk around the corner towards parliament and you will find the visitor center.

Post authorThanks Jean! I’ll certainly make some time to check out the visitor center and take the tour. As for attend National Assembly… heh, probably not. :)
