On the famous, worlds only street with two Nobel prize winners located. His small house turned into a museum. Good explanation by the guide. You only have about 20 min, as there are many groups are coming. The surrounding offers restaurants and shops.

Mandela’s house in Soweto Township was very well preserved with so much history and original artifacts. It is definitely worth a visit.

Though we arrived late, visiting the Nelson Mandela House was still a powerful and emotional experience. The house is rich with history, telling the story of Mandela’s life, struggle, and legacy in a deeply personal way. Despite our limited time, the preserved rooms, historic artifacts, and passionate guides made the visit impactful. It’s a must-see for anyone wanting to connect with South Africa’s journey to freedom. Truly inspiring.

Among all the exhibits on apartheid and the life of Nelson Mandela, this was my least favorite. The only significant of this house is because Mandela lived there for a couple years. The displays inside the house were mostly honorary titles Mandela received and could have been easily incorporated into the Mandela Foundation for example, but if the entrance fee does benefit the Soweto community then perhaps it would be the reason to visit.

I visited this place last week to learn more about the history of Nelson Mandela, the tour of the museum was very short but interesting. The museum is located in the authentic house of Mandela which is small but I still think it is worth visiting this place. History must be remembered so that tragic events do not happen again.
