Nelson Mandela Home
He moved there with his first wife Evelyn Ntoko Mase in 1946. After their divorce in 1957, she moved out. When Mandela married Winnie Madikizela in 1958, she joined him at the Soweto home. However, during the ensuing years when his life as a freedom fighter was all-consuming, Mandela seldom stayed there. He was the "Black Pimpernel", living life on the run, until his arrest and imprisonment in 1962. Madikizela-Mandela continued to live in the tiny house with her two daughters, Zeni and Zinzi, while Mandela was in jail. The house was petrol bombed and set alight several times during this time.
