Mahlamba Ndlopfu is the official residence for the President of South Africa in Bryntirion, Pretoria. The house, formerly called ''Libertas'', was designed by Architect Gerard Moerdijk in a traditional Cape Dutch style and completed in 1940 as the official residence for the Prime Minister of South Africa in the Bryntirion suburb of Pretoria.〔http://www.thepresidency.gov.za/pebble.asp?relid=195〕 It is surrounded by impressive gardens. Through the years, slight changes were made on the building. After the post of Prime Minister was abolished in 1984, it became the presidential residence. In 1995 the name of the residence was changed to the present-day name. Mahlamba Ndlopfu is a term of the Xitsonga language, the language of the Tsonga people. It means "The new dawn". ==See also== *Government Houses of South Africa *Government Houses of the British Empire 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mahlamba Ndlopfu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
