Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Union Buildings (Afrikaans: Uniegebou) form the official seat of the South African Government and also house the offices of the President of South Africa. The imposing buildings are located in Pretoria, atop Meintjeskop at the northern end of Arcadia, close to historic Church Square. The large gardens of the Buildings are nestled between Government Avenue, Vermeulen Street East, Church Street, the R104 and Blackwood Street. Fairview Avenue is a closed road through which only officials can enter the Union Buildings. Though not in the centre of Pretoria, the Union Buildings occupy the highest point of Pretoria, and constitute a South African national heritage site.

Summary from Nederlands / Dutch Wikipedia (nlwiki)

Het Uniegebouw in de Zuid-Afrikaanse hoofdstad Pretoria is de officiële zetel van de Zuid-Afrikaanse regering. Het imposante gebouw is gelegen op de Meintjieskop en kijkt uit over Pretoria.

Summary from Afrikaans / Afrikaans Wikipedia (afwiki)

Die Uniegebou (Engels: Union Buildings) is geleë op Meintjieskop, die hoogste punt in Pretoria, in die noorde van die voorstad Arcadia. Sedert sy voltooiing dien dit as die amptelike setel van die Suid-Afrikaanse regering. Dit bevat ook die kantoor van die President van Suid-Afrika. Dit word waarskynlik die beste onthou as die plek waar Suid-Afrika se eerste demokraties-verkose president, Nelson Mandela, in Mei 1994 ingehuldig is. Terwyl die gebou self nie toeganklik is vir die publiek nie, staan die buiteterras en tuine oop vir besoekers en bied 'n unieke uitsig oor die Jakarandastad.

Summary from Français / French Wikipedia (frwiki)

Les Union Buildings en anglais, die Uniegebou en afrikaans, les Bâtiments de l'Union en français, constituent, depuis 1910 à Pretoria, le siège du gouvernement d'Afrique du Sud. Le terme union fait non seulement référence à l'Union d'Afrique du Sud qui était le nom officiel de l'Afrique du Sud en 1910 mais symbolise à l'origine l'union d'un peuple autrefois divisé.
