Zululand magic in July 2013
The Nelson Mandela Capture Site
Well worth a memorable visit
The last time I was here, some years ago now, it was just an insignificant, dusty little plaque beside the road. If you’d blinked, you would have missed it.
Today, a powerful and poignant memorial marks the site where Nelson Mandela was arrested by armed apartheid police on August 5, 1962, after being on the run for 17 months, and so began his long walk into 27 years of captivity.

The following weekend I was back in northern KwaZulu-Natal, staying on a houseboat on the beautiful Jozini Dam.
