n celebration of Heritage Month in September, South Africans are able to stay and experience Johannesburg’s newest hotel in the leafy suburbs of Houghton. People are invited to an experience of tranquillity, heritage and mindfulness at the home where the country’s first democratically elected President, Nelson Mandela, lived after his release from Robben Island. The Sanctuary Mandela was officially opened at the beginning of September 2021, to mark this year’s Tourism Month. The reimagined home commemorates the country’s dynamic political heritage, by celebrating the life of Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, best and globally known for his role in the fight against Apartheid South Africa. It harmoniously curates his life,
from when he was a boy, to when he fought the human rights injustices of the Apartheid regime, his 27-years imprisonment, his presidency, and to becoming a Nobel Peace Prize winner, father of the nation, peacemaker and Tata Madiba. Dimitri Maritz, general manager of the Sanctuary Mandela, said: “It has been a work of dreams and, after so many years of planning and building, we are finally ready to welcome people to this home. We would like everyone to experience this. From the food, the rooms, to the personalised experiences; we would like people to stay here and leave this sanctuary fulfilled and inspired by the spirit of one of the greatest human beings to ever live amongst us.”
