A major exhibition on the life and times of OR Tambo has been curated

by the Apartheid Museum, in association with the Oliver & Adelaide Tambo Foundation and ACSA.

It opened at the Slave Lodge in Cape Town in March 2013,

and will be on display there until March 2014.

The exhibition tells the remarkable story of how OR Tambo

turned the struggle against apartheid into one of the largest global movements of the 20th century.

It is 50 years since Mandela was arrested, just outside Howick, on 5 August 1962. To mark the anniversary, this sculpture has been erected at the Capture site. It comprises 50 poles , each between 5 metres and 10 metres high,
that come into focus at one point as Mandela's face.

What's on Now: MANDELA EXHIBITION

Mandela has been central to every stage of South Africa’s epic struggle against apartheid – from formulating a new approach in the 1940s to leading the mass struggles of the 1950s, from the formation of Umkhonto we Siswe in the early 1960s to imprisonment for 27 years. He initiated and led negotiations in the 1990s, and served as the first President of a democratic South Africa. He built a new nation from the fragments of conflict.
