This bronze bust of John Vorster dominated the entrance to John Vorster Square (JVS). During the official renaming of JVS to Johannesburg Central Police Station in 1997 the bust was removed and relocated to the Police Museum in Pretoria. This photograph of the bust was taken by Craig Matthew of Doxa for the Sunday Times Heritage Project (STHP).
Included in SAHA online exhibition - 'Between Life and Death: Stories from John Vorster Square', 2012.
