Geocache Description:

Mandela Museum near the Capture Site just outside of Howick along the midlands meander route.

This cache will bring you to the Mandela Museum, Truth store and the Truth Cafe where you can take a break and have a cuppa or take a dip in the swimming pool. There is also a trampoline and jungle gym for the kids to play on while you can spend some time in the Museum.

The people that run the Truth Cafe are aware of the cache.

The site near Howick, outside Pietermaritzburg, where Nelson Mandela was captured by the apartheid authorities has been marked by a small monument celebrating the place and time that marked the start of the great man's long walk to freedom.

Mandela was arrested three kilometres outside Howick on the R103, the main road to Johannesburg, on 5 August 1962.

The uMngeni municipality, with the assistance of the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, acquired the land opposite the site and a large barn has been converted into a museum which currently houses an exhibition entitled Mandela:Character, Comrade, Leader, Prisoner, Negotiator, Statesman

The Truth Café is open Saturdays and Sundays 8am – 4pm and offers a light lunch and snack menu . There is a souvenir shop with books and other items on Mandela and some crafters offer an exquisite range of beaded jewellery for sale.
