We're going for a moderate-sized town now... But we're gonna start by presenting it with a painting instead of a photograph!

Clue: The modern-day name is different from the historical in that two of the vowels have been switched.

Is it somewhere in South Africa?

I can't make out the uniforms very well, but they look like they could be either Australian Light Horsemen or South African units.

It's not like it's packed with easily discernible detail...

It is. One of the men in the picture is quite famous these days, though not necessarily for his military achievements.

When I was there, lots of hotel rooms were booked up because the ANC was holding its congress here:

No, it's not Churchill.

Here's another piccie, from back when it had yet another different name. Not sure if it helps but it's a cool piccie.

Okay, I realise this is hard - it's hampered by a lack of decent pics.

This large-sized town or small city is the capital of one of South Africa's regions. This particular region derives not inconsiderable amounts of its income from this:

A considerably more oft-photographed building. Here's another perspective.

No. If it was I'd have muttered something about a judiciary capital.

I'm leaving for the weekend in five minutes, so I'll give a slightly more revealing clue about the man who's famous in the first picture: he founded a movement which currently has some 28 million members worldwide, with national organisations in 153 countries.

Whoever gets it can post a new one, and the right answer should be pretty googlable by now.

I'm guessing the building that generates most of the income is the casino at Sun City. I don't know what the capital of that region is, but Bloemfontein sounds about right.

The guy is Baden-Powell and the organisation is the boy scouts, btw.

Since I'm 98% sure Mafeking (alt. spelling Mafikeng) is the right answer and Buck seems to have left, here's the new city.

Shouldn't be too hard...
