e Mandela Memorial Garden QUNU, EASTERN CAPE, SOUTH AFRICA The sale of this lot will support the building of the Mandela Memorial Garden. Deep in the rolling hills of the Eastern Cape, South Africa, is the small village of Qunu, now renowned as the resting place of Nelson Mandela. “Madiba” as he was lovingly referred to, was born in the nearby village of Mveso on the eastern rim of the Mbashe River canyon.

Anticipating how the world might remember their father, in 2007 the Mandela family began thoughtful preparations for Madiba’s burial site... an inspirational, inviting setting to be known as the Mandela Memorial Garden. “We want our father to be remembered as the father, the grandfather, the brother, the uncle, the friend that he was. Yes, he was a political figure, but he had an ability to unite people, and in our fractured world, we must remember this quality.” - Makaziwe “Maki” Mandela-Amuah, Nelson Mandela’s eldest daughter. A team of accomplished architects and landscape architects

was assembled to design and map out the Mandela Memorial Garden surrounding the burial site. Located amongst the rolling hills of this beautiful ten hectare setting (about twenty four acres) will be strategically placed stations marrying the natural contours of the land with key moments in Madiba’s life. As ground will soon be broken in preparations for building the

on-site Welcome Centre, the Museum, a local Market and places of sanctuary, the garden has been planted. “I wanted to create a natural piece of Madiba’s birthplace. Acacias from the Mbashe River, aloes from Mvezu, succulents from the Transkei, plus bulbs, medicinal plants and wild flowers all have been brought back to the land” explains landscape architect Greg Straw.

On these pages are just a glimpse of some of the handsome structures designed for the Garden. Meandering paths, a contemplative tunnel and many other features will 13

be incorporated all with the hope that countless visitors will come in the years ahead and be inspired by the memory of Madiba.

CHRISTO BRAND

The year was 1978... Nelson Mandela and six of his co-defendants from South Africa’s infamous Rivonia Trial had already served fourteen years of their life sentences. The young Black attorney, determined to help his countrymen break the bonds of apartheid, was considered a dangerous renegade and found guilty of sabotage. Robben Island, the prison chosen for the group’s incarceration, could not have been harsher. A single overhead bulb burned around the clock in Mandela’s bare concrete, unheated 7’ x 9’ (2.1 x 2.7 meters) cell. The only concession to “comfort”… a threadbare floor mat. Even on the warmest nights, the cells felt dank and cold. It was into this setting that Christo Brand, an eighteen-year-old farm boy, was thrust. Schooled by his elders to believe that all men were inherently kind and trustworthy, Christo had wanted to become an electrician after school. But he would first have to complete his two years of compulsory national service. Christo instead decided to train as a prison guard when he discovered that by working for the prison service, he would be exempt from national service. And so in 1978 after a year of training, he was sent to work on Robben Island. As part of his indoctrination into prison society, he was cautioned that he would be dealing with the most dangerous criminals in the history of South Africa. Accordingly, his first steps on Robben Island were taken in fear. In most parts of the world, strong bonds between sixty-year-old Black men and eighteen-year-old White boys rarely occur. In mid-twentieth century South Africa, such a relationship was absolutely unheard of. And when one is an inmate partway through a life sentence and the other is a guard, such a relationship would have been viewed as so absurd as to be laughable. And yet, almost miraculously, that is just what happened.

The young Brand was assigned to guard Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, Raymond Mhlaba and several of the other Rivonia “co-conspirators.” He had never heard these names before nor did he have any inkling why these men were behind bars. The assumption: if they were serving life sentences, they likely were murderers. It was therefore quite stunning to the young guard that the prisoners were respectful and courteous. Despite their miserable circumstances, they seemed genuinely concerned about their guard’s well-being. This was particularly true of the prisoner, Mandela. Christo Brand had been on Robben Island about three months when an avalanche of mail arrived for Nelson Mandela. A remarkable fifty thousand birthday cards had been sent to the prisoner. Perhaps equally shocking was the fact that all but twelve of the cards came from well-wishers outside of South Africa. Both inquisitive and intelligent, the young guard came to understand who indeed this unjustly imprisoned, kind older man really was. And he came to learn that people around the world were demanding his release. Why the disparity between the numbers of international well-wishers and those from their homeland? Brand discovered that South African citizens sending anything to these prisoners could face a jail sentence including the possibility of torture! Though Christo Brand was in the employ of the apartheid government - a government that promoted separation between Blacks and Whites - he and Mr. Mandela grew close. And when, in 1982, Mandela was transferred to Pollsmoor Prison, the guard made the same transfer. For six more years, the friendship grew. In 1990, international demand for Mandela’s release reached epic levels. Then President F. W. de Klerk, recognizing the injustices of the prior decades, freed the Rivonia Seven with Mandela the very last to step from behind bars. And while it would be easy to imagine that Mr. Mandela, in his meteoric, unprecedented rise to the presidency, lost touch with his prison friend, that was not to be. The men remained close, often celebrating special events together. And when Christo Brand’s son was tragically killed in a way similar to the death of his former prisoner’s son, one of the first to share the grief was President Nelson Mandela.

NEL SON M A NDEL A’ S BEIGE F LOR A L “M A DI BA” SHI RT A beige silk shirt with a brown and black floral design. Gianzo International Style; size: XL; concealed buttons.

A photograph of Mr. Mandela wearing this shirt can be seen online. A print of this photograph is included with the lot. Nelson Mandela’s preference for loose-fitting, outer shirts - as opposed to conventional western suits - were symbolic of his representation of the common people of South Africa. These shirts were particularly meaningful to the Black majority of South Africans who felt disenfranchised from the White, formally- suited, politicians. Following his lead, people from around the world took to wearing what became known as “Madiba* Shirts.” Made of brightly patterned silk, these shirts became emblematic of post-apartheid freedom, nonconformity, civil disobedience, and commitment to the people. Fellow South African Nobel Peace Prize laureate Desmond Tutu said, “Like a most precious diamond honed deep beneath the surface of the earth, the Madiba who emerged from prison in January 1990 was virtually flawless.” (*”Madiba” was the term of endearment and affection used by countless people around the globe when referring to Nelson Mandela.) “My grandfather Nelson Mandela was first introduced to this style of dress when he was given batik printed shirts by Indonesia’s President Suharto in 1990. Later the shirts, which came to be known as Madiba Shirts, were custom made by Sonwabile Ndamase, a South African fashion designer and other designers including Desre Buirski. My grandfather opted to wear these shirts because he did not want to be confined into a suit and tie. Africa’s climate is very hot and he wanted something that was elegant and easy to wear, that would reflect the bright colors of Africa and his easy and laid back leadership style. Some of the shirts that he wore were subsequently made by Steffano Ricci.” - Tukwini Mandela This lot is accompanied by a Certificate of Provenance.

PEN GIF T ED TO NEL SON M A NDEL A BY PR E SIDEN T GEORGE W. BUSH

Four years after being released from prison in 1990, Nelson Mandela entered office with the idea that a reset was necessary for the relationship between the US and South Africa after the Cold War. This reset was tumultuous at first, the proposed U.S. aid package came short of President Mandela’s hopes. Nevertheless, it wasn’t long into his political prominence when Mandela became personally acquainted with three of the United States’ Presidents: Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. Mandela departed the office of the South African presidency in 1999, two years before George W. Bush became president. During Bush’s eight years in office, the relationship between the two nations was eroding quickly. Catalyzed by the Iraq war, Mandela first began speaking out about the Bush administration and the ways in which it operated in the Middle East. It was Mandela’s belief that the US should not be inserting itself into the situation, stating in 2003, “It is a tragedy what is happening, what Bush is doing in Iraq. What I am condemning is that one power, with a president who has no foresight, who cannot think properly, is now wanting to plunge the world into a holocaust.” This not withstanding the fact that President Bush had honored Mr. Mandela by awarding him the Presidential Medal of Freedom - and the gold-accented Presidential pen offered here. The relationship between the two men did, however, mend itself over time. This began with President Bush’s “President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief,” or PEPFAR, in 2003, pledging billions of dollars to fight AIDS internationally. Mr. Mandela had been mounting a personal campaign against AIDS at the time, given the struggle of his son, Makgatho, who later died of the dreaded disease two years later.

The Rivonia Trial, which has been called “the trial that changed South Africa,” famously led to the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela as well as ten other political activists combating apartheid under charges of conspiring to overthrow the South African government and sabotage. It also centered Mr. Mandela as the face and leader of the anti-apartheid movement. Mr. Mandela was facing the death sentence, leading to his famous speech, “I Am Prepared to Die.” “I have dedicated my life to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons will live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal for which I hope to live for and to see realized. But, My Lord, if it needs to be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.” - Nelson Mandela This lot is accompanied by a Certificate of Provenance.

JE W ISH MEMOR IE S OF M A NDEL A A gift given to Nelson Mandela from Chief Rabbi Cyril Harris.

The book is presented in a one of a kind personalized wood veneer slip case with a carved inscription from Harris to Mandela that reads: “Nelson Mandela has shown the way towards reconciliation, how to embrace one’s fellows and reach out towards a better future. He has taught us all that it means to be a human being.” Jewish Memories of Mandela contains chronicles of individual Jewish men and women that were involved in the life and career of Nelson Mandela. It also records the remarkable extent to which Jewish South Africans participated in the anti-apartheid struggle, as well as in the post-apartheid era of nation-building, reconstruction, and reconciliation. Furthermore, it demonstrates how the Jewish communal leadership, including the SA Jewish Board of Deputies and Chief Rabbi Cyril Harris, went about leading the Jewish community in being an active part in the process of transition to multiracial democracy after 1990. Jewish Memories of Mandela is a significant inclusion to the historiography of anti-apartheid activism within the white community, in which the Jewish community formed a part. Additionally, this book documents a salient chapter in the history of the South African Jewish community and the contribution its members made to the country. Author: David Saks. It was a gift given to him to celebrate his 100 year centenary by the South African Jewish Board and Association. Harris was often referred to as “Madiba’s Rabbi” in the press.

A unique original charcoal drawing accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Nelson Mandela’s daughter, Dr. Makaziwe Mandela. On art paper, the drawing bears Nelson Mandela’s signature. 42 cm x 59.4 cm. Following his presidency, Nelson Mandela became interested in creating works of art, the majority of which had political meaning. The theme of a number of his works proved to be hands, handcuffs, and chains. The only known work of his focusing entirely on a chain, the symbolism of this charcoal drawing is clear. As a political activist, Mr. Mandela was not just a man of words but also a man of action. Refusing to sit idly as the South African government instilled increasingly oppressive, racist laws under apartheid, he was responsible for helping launch the Definance Campaign, a massive act of civil disobedience. Later, Mandela led the group known as the Umkhonto weSizwe, or Spear of the Nation which, in 1961, took up arms in response to the Sharpeville Massacre of 1960. The ripping apart of these chains infers not passivity, nor even resistance, but instead, action. Reflecting upon his work, Mr. Mandela wrote, “These sketches are not so much about my life as they are about my own country. I hope that it will give you as much pleasure as I have had, in creating these images.” The sale of this lot will support the building of the Mandela Memorial Garden.

NEL SON M A NDEL A’ S PR ISON CELL E X ERCISE BIC YCLE In his autobiography ‘Long Walk To Freedom’, Nelson Mandela penned “I have always believed that exercise is the key not only to physical health, but to peace of mind,” going on to say “Exercise dissipates tension, and tension is the enemy of serenity.” It is well documented how integral exercise was to Mandela’s survival in prison. A part of his daily routine and the foundation of his perseverance, he began every day with an hour long 5 A.M. workout. In the infamous harshness of Robben Island (where he spent his first 14 years of imprisonment) proper shoes would have been a luxury, let alone sporting equipment. In 1982, Mandela was transferred to Pollsmoor Prison. While far from freedom, conditions at Pollsmoor were less harsh and the prisoners were allotted more basic privileges. One of which was the access to sporting equipment such as tennis rackets and table tennis paddles. Mandela requested this exercise bike as an alternative to prohibited jogging. Mandela used the bicycle to rebuild his strength and endurance after a decade and a half of back-breaking labor and nearly unbearable conditions. One could easily look at this moment as a turning point in Mandela’s path to freedom. He would use the bicycle daily until his transfer to Victor Verster Prison in 1988, leaving the bicycle behind for a fellow prisoner to continue to use. Complying with Mandela’s wishes, Christo Brand, who was in charge of the ordering and taking inventory of such items, preserved the bicycle. Recognizing that one day the bike might be viewed as something of an historic object, Mandela asked Brand to keep it safe, joking that his friend might get some use out of it as well. In the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, this exercise device played an important role in Mandela’s health and resilience. It remains in working order and largely untouched since the days when Nelson Mandela would ride it every morning. Property of Christo Brand, Nelson Mandela’s former Jailer and close Friend.

Indeed, Mr. Obama noted that his life in politics began when he attended an anti-apartheid rally at Occidental College in 1981. In Johannesburg at the memorial ceremonies following Nelson Mandela’s funeral, Mr. Obama gave a speech saying, “Mandela taught us the power of action, but he also taught us the power of ideas; the importance of reason and arguments; the need to study not only those who you agree with, but also those who you don’t agree with. He understood that ideas cannot be contained by prison walls, or extinguished by a sniper’s bullet. He turned his trial into an indictment of apartheid because of his eloquence and his passion, but also because of his training as an advocate.” This important gift blanket forever links these two great men.

Being able to exercise one’s mind and body through play was an immensely freeing. Playing tennis and attending to my gardening became my two favourite hobbies on Robben Island. It was a strange sensation enjoying such civilized hobbies in such an uncivilized place. It caused me to reflect on the strange and perverse nature of apartheid, where they wrongly thought that one people’s freedom could only be enjoyed at the expense and oppression of another.”

ROBBEN ISL A ND T EN NIS R ACQUET

One of Nelson Mandela’s original tennis racquets from his time on Robben Island. Included is a handwritten note with a description as follows: ““In 1997 forced manual labour was indeed (banned) after we maintained a two-year go-slow strike. We asked to do something more constructive with our days instead of the monotony of mining lime and stone from the quarries. This action, however, robbed us of the opportunity to exercise, and after much effort we convinced the warders to allow us to convert the courtyard into a tennis court.

Nelson Mandela 2003”” Nelson Mandela famously protested the inhumane conditions for prisoners during his 27-year sentence on Robben Island. This eventually led to the abolishment of the daily backbreaking physical tasks typical of Robben Island prisoners such as “mining lime and stone from the quarries.” However, this was just the beginning, Nelson Mandela also continued to fight for the right to convert the prison’s cement courtyard into a painted tennis court and recreational activity area. This was the first time Mandela had the chance to play tennis since his time in University. Eventually, his protest for humane living conditions inspired the International Committee of the Red Cross to outline the “Mandela Rules,” which specify humane standards for prisoner treatment.

Prior to this, the prisoners were marched round and round the courtyard for half an hour every day. We used to walk around the courtyard quickly in single file under the watchful eye of the guards. Our persistence paid off and we painted the cement courtyard surface to create a traditional tennis court layout. Strangely, Robben Island was the first opportunity for me to play tennis since university. I was by no means an expert, but the exercise was a welcome break from the walks to and from the quarries and round and round the yard.

The certificate reads, “This drawing was created by my father Nelson Mandela at his home in Johannesburg. Nelson Mandela. (He) produced a collection of drawings and a series of signed print editions from selected images between 2001 and 2004. The original drawings were created in charcoal and pastel on paper, each piece was drawn from photographic references. They include a variety of subjects which were close to his heart. This original piece has been in safekeeping since it was drawn by him. I warrant that the image represented herein is an original drawing by Nelson Mandela.” Pastel and charcoal on cotton paper.

Nelson Mandela depicts Robben Island’s iconic lighthouse that was constructed in 1864, on the highest elevation point of the tiny two square mile island. When Robben Island was converted to a prison from 1960 to 1996, the structure was maintained by a lighthouse keeper who would rely on the prison staff for supplies and transport to the mainland. While prisoners would not have access to the lighthouse, it served as a beacon in both a literal and metaphorical sense. Mr. Mandela depicts the lighthouse as small, distant, across a body of water, perhaps invoking a poignant sense of distance from the building meant to represent safety, hope, and freedom.

NEL SON M A NDEL A’ S ROBBEN ISL A ND PR ISON CELL K E Y There is ample evidence to suggest that even during pre-historic times, the use of the fence played a role in primitive cultures. Fences marked off boundaries and, in time, proved critical as man learned the importance of breeding and working with domesticated animals. However, it was the invention of the lock that gave new meaning to fences and other type enclosures. Some say that it was in ancient Egypt that the lock was invented. Others point to England for the first metal mechanisms designed to keep fence gates closed and prevent doors from being opened. In any case, the invention of the lock introduced a new concept into society. For the first time, one man could keep another man confined. With the creation of locks came the notion of prisons which, as onerous as they were, served an importance purpose: to prevent people determined to have done bad things from continuing in their anti-social ways. But as is often the case, what started out as meaningful and beneficial to society branched off to occasionally have warped and distorted effects. European Jews can certainly speak of the locks that prohibited their escape from Hitler’s death camps. And California’s internment camps for Japanese-Americans, though far from the painful reality of the German camps, still severely impacted the lives of innocent people. In a subtler yet no less hateful way, locks have been used to imprison those unjustly convicted. And so it was for Nelson Mandela and his fellow Rivonia Trial cell mates. Mr. Mandela’s twenty-seven-year incarceration and his never-ending fight for justice is well documented. Indeed, this very auction includes powerful letters which Mr. Mandela wrote from prison, crying out not so much for his own well-being but for the safety of his family and for the human rights deprived from his fellow South Africans. Typically, a lock is fixed in place. It is part of a structure... set into a door or welded to iron bars. An inanimate object, in and of itself a lock will not operate. A human is needed to consciously decide to activate that lock. To open or close it. But as is the case with most locks, another critical element is needed - the key. In the simplest terms, a key is the link between man and device. It enables man to activate a device; it allows man to take action. The decision to open or close a lock starts in the brain and travels to the hand. But without the key, the lock remains inert. The key is the activator, the driver. It was the key that first closed the lock that confined Nelson Mandela to his miserable Robben Island concrete box. It was the key that allowed Mandela brief spurts into the sunshine, albeit to deal with the brutality of breaking limestone. And ultimately, it was the key that opened the lock to Madiba’s freedom. To rise from prisoner to President. Without the key, Mandela’s countryman might still be under the oppression of apartheid. Without the key, countless millions around the globe would not have been able to celebrate Mandela’s ultimate glorious story. The worst of humanity is symbolized by the key; the best of humanity is symbolized by the key. It is the key that imprisoned Mandela; it is the key that set him free. This is the Robben Island key that prison guard Christo Brand used daily to operate the lock on Nelson Mandela’s cell. Property of Christo Brand, Nelson Mandela’s former Jailer and close Friend. Please note: Nelson Mandela’s Prison Cell Key has been part of a traveling museum exhibition.

NEL SON M A NDEL A SI LK PATCH WOR K QUILT Stunning one of a kind patchwork quilt composed of the fabric offcuts from several of Nelson Mandela’s famed “Madiba” shirts as well as fabrics gifted to Mandela from foreign leaders and dignitaries. Many of Nelson Mandela’s iconic “Madiba” shirts were created by designer Desré Buirski. Made from Madiba shirt fabric, this quilt is one of two unique creations. The other quilt was auctioned for €360,000 in Monaco as part of a fundraising event hosted by Nelson Mandela and Prince Albert of Monaco. The auction took place at the Hotel de Paris benefiting several worthy causes including Nelson Mandela’s Children’s Fund and The Nelson Mandela Foundation. The auction was attended by Bono, Morgan Freeman, Wyclef Jean, Jimmy Cliff, Naomi Campbell and many other celebrated figures. The second quilt, kept in South Africa by the quilt creator and “Madiba” shirt designer Desré Buirski all these years, is now being made available to the public for the first time. It is notable to mention this is the only known instance where Mandela approved the use of his signature on any form of printed fabric, adding to the rarity of this already incredibly unique work of art. Cut quite literally from the same cloth as the iconic “Madiba” shirts, which he wore to separate himself from apartheid-era leadership, the quilt serves as a compilation of these important shirts and the symbolism they represent. Featuring 345 patches of “Madiba” shirt offcuts and fabrics gifted to Mandela, the quilt features loops across the top for hanging display and measures 105” x 78” with the loops extending another 6 inches.

Mr. Mandela frequently depicted hands in his artwork and drawings. Reflecting on his work, he stated “These hands are not so much about my life as they are about my country,” “I chose hands because they can hurt or heal, punish or uplift…. In time we broke loose the shackles of injustice and joined hands across social divides and over oceans knowing that even if age makes us wiser guides, its the love and trust of the youth that reminds us of love trust and the value of life.”

This powerful cast of Nelson Mandela’s fist contains remarkable detail, showing the texture of his skin and creases in his palm. Small scars from injuries suffered in prison can be seen on his thumb. A dramatic textured bronze background supports the hand. Mr. Mandela’s signature appears on the side of the base.

This Constitution marked one of the last chapters in South Africa’s transition from the abhorrent system of apartheid to a democratic system of government. It contained the Bill of Rights and other important clauses safeguarding human rights and fundamental freedoms. These basic laws would help to foster the process of forgiveness and healing from the traumas and serious injustices of the past and provide the people of South Africa with a document containing the necessary checks and balances ensuring that the rule of law would prevail in the country. Following Mandela’s release from prison, he secured a job for his former prison guard and warden, Christo Brand, as the administrative and logistics manager in the Constitutional Assembly. This was where the Constitution was being prepared, and where numerous interim versions had previously been assembled. This was also where members of the public and political parties could submit proposals that they wanted to be included in the new constitution. One night in late November, Brand was tasked with going to Cedar Press, where a large format of the latest version of the Constitution was to be printed. He was to collect the first ten copies and deliver them immediately to the President’s office for review and proofreading. Instead of 10 copies, he took 11 copies, in hopes of having Mandela sign the 11th copy for him to keep. Upon arrival at the President’s office, he asked that Mandela autograph his copy, which Brand has retained since then. Inasmuch as the other ten copies were created to be reviewed and marked up with changes, it is doubtful that any of those survived. This newest version of the Constitution was then distributed to all members of Parliament for review. Following its approval, this became the final version of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa.

The hospital I have sketched here served as a secret and vital link between us and the rest of the world.” His words on “The Guard Tower”: “… the towers and the ever-restraining barbed wired.
