In the Eastern Cape, the Nelson Mandela Museum, which opened on February 11, 2000, is being developed to include three elements: a museum in Umtata, a youth center in Qunu, and a visitors' center in Mvezo. I waived this order after the murder of five schoolchildren by the South African Defence Force in Umtata (in the Eastern Cape). The village of Mvezo was Mandela's birthplace: he spent his childhood in Qunu (where he also intends to spend part of his retirement) and Umtata was the former capital of Transkei, one of the hated bantustans (black homelands) under the former apartheid regime. |
