NELSON MANDELA CAPTURE SITE

This is a museum with a difference since it commemorates the actual site where Nelson Mandela was captured on 5 August 1962. Located outside of Howick in KwaZulu-Natal, you can visit the famous site and the sculpture made of 50 linear vertical steel columns and learn more about the historically important moment at the impressive visitors’ centre, which was launched not too long ago.
