The Mandela house, no. 8115 Vilikazi Street, Soweto, was home to Nelson Mandela and his first wife Evelyn Ntoko Mase from 1946-1956 and later, after he divorced Evelyn, to his second wife Winnie Madikizela from 1957-1962. The original brick building has been converted into a museum, providing the backdrop for the narrative of the life story of this international figure. The house has been restored to the original ‘Type C2’ housing type, typical to the area, while maintaining the fire damage and bullet holes. Red facebrick has been used on new walls and paving to match the red brick of the house. Detached from the original house, a new compact visitor centre has been added into the site. Size: 300 sq.m |
