    Site History

    When Nelson Mandela was arrested in 1962 at Horwick in KZN, he was coming from consulting with Luthuli. The life and the times of Mandela’s generation of leaders is best represented by the collection at Mandela Centre for Memory. This place tells the story of Mandela and the values that he represented. It hosts documents, speeches and photographs that give authenticity and integrity to the many events that unfolded in the liberation struggle for South Africa.
