My wife and I visited the Nelson Mandela memorial site on a recent trip to the Drakensberg. This site marks the place where Mandela was captured on the 5 August 1962. We specifically stopped off to lay a wreath and were not at all surprised to see so many other folk there,  – young and old,  carrying flowers – all paying their respects to a wonderful man. Apparently over 5,000 people visited this site over the weekend when Mandela’s death was announced. It was a very moving experience.

I had the privilege of meeting Nelson Mandela in 1990 at a business meeting in Gauteng. It was fabulous and such a privilege to meet such a distinguished gentleman, the Father of our democratic nation.

A visit to the Nelson Mandela Capture site is included in my tour to the Drakensberg as well as to the Midlands Meander. Whatever your interest let me design a tour to suit your needs. Look forward to hearing from you!
