"8115 Vilakazi Street, Orlando West in Soweto is known to many simply as Mandela House. It was where Nelson Mandela lived between 1946 and 1962. The house is a humble abode of four inter-leading rooms that today contain a collection of memorabilia, paintings and photographs of the Mandela family. Even a pair of Mandela's old boots lie on a shelf for display – insight into the man the country fondly called Tata (father). For today the house functions as a museum."

"Enjoy a guided walking tour of the house that Nelson Mandela once called home. This house, mostly inhabited by his late wife Winnie Mandela & their children while Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island, reveals how the family lived & endured shooting attacks from the police. The guided tour lasts about 20 minutes & offers a touching glimpse into their lives during a tumultuous time in history."
