remember Mandela used to stay in the back room of Walter Sisulu before he got his own house so in the late forties, this was his first owned house with Winnie until he was arrested in 1963, then Winnie would take care of things while she was in and out of prison and at some point it was boomed by the police. It carries so much of the Struggle of Mandela and Winnie. After Mandela's release from Robin Island, he came and lived in this house for eleven days, with people always hanging by the road who wanted to see Mandel he had to move to much private place.
