Makoanyane Square

Makaoanyane Square is a small park on Constitution Road.  It contains a war memorial, commemorating 951 soldiers from Basutoland, killed in World War II, most of them serving in the Africa Pioneer Corps.  The Crocodile Monument was erected in the square in 1963 and depicts a curved screen wall surmounted by a large bronze crocodile with its mouth open, the national emblem of Lesotho.
