Nelson Mandela Capture Site
R103, Howick, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Show on mapThe Nelson Mandela Capture Site marks the exact location where Mandela was arrested in 1962, a turning point in South African history. The visitor centre offers immersive exhibitions, historical artefacts, and a surround film that traces resistance movements in KwaZulu-Natal and beyond.
A short walk through landscaped grounds leads to the large steel sculpture that comes into focus as Mandela’s face from a specific viewpoint. It’s a powerful, reflective stop for visitors interested in history, justice, and South Africa’s road to democracy.
