Nelson Mandela National Museum, Johannesburg

The Nelson Mandela National Museum, commonly known as Mandela House, is the single storey red-brick matchbox house in Soweto where Nelson Mandela lived from 1946 to 1962, initially with his first wife Evelyn Ntoko Mase, and then with his second wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.

The Nelson Mandela National Museum, commonly known as Mandela House, is the single storey red-brick matchbox house in Soweto where Nelson Mandela lived from 1946 to 1962, initially with his first wife Evelyn Ntoko Mase, and then with his second wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela. After his imprisonment, Winnie continued to live in the house with her daughters Zeni and Zindzi. After his release from Robben Island in 1990, Mandela first lived in this house at no 8115 for 11 days before moving to Houghton. The house was bombed and attacked with Molotov cocktails several times during the struggle against apartheid, and the bullet holes and scorch marks are still visible on the walls. The 4 rooms of the house contain some of the original furnishing, and feature memorabilia including photographs and paintings of the family, citations and honorary doctorates bestowed upon Mandela, a multicolored cloak presented to him, and the world championship belt given to Mandela by boxer Sugar Ray Leonard.
