The Alex home

The Alex home
The humble abode in Alexandra township, which Nelson Mandela occupied when he first came to Joburg during the early 1940s, is being transformed into a heritage attraction site. The yard and the room that he rented are being developed into what will be known as the Mandela Yard Interpretation Centre. The site is located at the intersection of Hofmeyer Street and 7th Avenue. At present it is unoccupied, but tourist guides are already bringing people there.
