We just had one hour for this museum, but you really need two hours. Most of it I knew already, but it still gave me some more insights in the life of Mandela and the apartheid struggle. It is a must see, if you are in the area. We could park our car with all our belongings in front of the museum and the museum guard was willing to watch it.

Mandalas Living Legacy
I was visiting Umthatha in the Eastern Cape, took a short flight from Johannesburg and landed in Umthatha Airport very nice and clean airport, visited this iconic space where the Legends life is told and depicted, it's a well thought out gallery with Mandelas gifts in the setting of his origin, housed in Ibhunga Building. Nelson Mandela life story is told from Birth to the last day. It is a must visit to get to know the man from elementary life and all that motivated him to be the statesman he eventually was .
