The Taal Monument, South Africa.
____________________
Well, 20 years ago the Tarzan's were still in charge in South Africa, and they had built a tower named the Taal Monument. I saw a picture of it in The San Francisco Chronicle years ago) see above).
The Taal Monument was built by the government of Pretoria to "honor" the Afrikaans language - the white man's language - the language they had hoped to make the universal language of South Africa.
It was a symbol of political, economic and racial oppression.
