File:View of Nelson Mandela Stadium.jpg

DR from speedy by User:Leoboudv which read "Please forgive me for filing a speedy delete on this very heavily used image but I thought there was no COM:FOP for modern works of art or architecture in South Africa. This stadium cannot be 70 years old. The first uncropped image is acceptable (since De Minimis applies) but in cropping deep into this image, the result would seem to be violating South Africa's laws on FOP--of which there is none! This image seems to me to be a non-free fair use image instead. Am I right or is there an expert on FOP here on Commons who knows this issue? At present I don't think Commons can use this image sadly." --KTo288 (talk) 18:00, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

•  Delete No FOP for photos in South Africa, only for movies and TV broadcasts. Original uncropped photo should be fine. Lupo 20:21, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

•  Delete, sadly. Until we have legal expertise that tells us otherwise, we have to assume there is no FOP in SA. --Túrelio (talk) 22:02, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
