The Newspaper Vendor bronze sculpture was commissioned by the paper company SAPPI in 2006 as a tribute to the newspaper industry — one of its largest clients — and to the vendors that bring newspapers to the public on Johannesburg’s streets. The work was subsequently donated to the City of Johannesburg.
This life size bronze statue of a person selling newspapers is located on the pedestrian walkway.
