Mandla Mandela, Madiba's grandson, has visited the hotel and he had only positive things to say about it. He is also very thankful that the Nelson Mandela Foundation (NMF) were able to preserve the memory of his grandfather and still honour him within the establishment.
The house hotel is filled with pictures of the former head of state and even includes letters that Mandela had written on those very grounds, including one he had written on the 13th of February 1990, two days after being released from prison.
From the entrance at the gate, you can see how the house has been preserved in its real, true sense. When I walked in, the first thing I wanted to see on the house is, has the house changed? And the thing is, the house hasn’t changed. It is still the same house. It is still the same entrance that Madiba received many guests and did many interviews. I am proud to have had those moments with my grandfather, particularly in this house. The foundation has held on [to] Madiba’s legacy and it is a place of reflection. People can come here and be in a space of this global icon and see the ordinary life the man lived.
