- Nelson Mandela Capture Site - After Howick Falls, the next destination is the Mandela Capture Site. Located near Howick in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, the Nelson Mandela Capture Site is a significant historical and cultural landmark commemorating Nelson Mandela’s arrest on August 5, 1962. This site marks the crucial moment when Mandela, a prominent anti-apartheid activist, was apprehended by police, leading to his 27-year imprisonment and the subsequent journey toward South Africa’s democracy. The site features an iconic steel sculpture by artist Marco Cianfanelli, which, from a specific angle, reveals Mandela’s profile, symbolizing the strength and resilience of his spirit. A visitor center and museum provide insight into Mandela’s life and legacy, offering an inspiring tribute to South Africa’s struggle for freedom and equality.
