History Nelson Mandela Questions
The Nelson Mandela Capture Site is a historical site located near Howick, South Africa. It is significant because it marks the spot where Nelson Mandela, the anti-apartheid activist and future President of South Africa, was arrested on August 5, 1962. Mandela's capture led to his subsequent imprisonment for 27 years, making him a symbol of the struggle against apartheid. The site now features a sculpture and museum, commemorating Mandela's life and the fight for freedom in South Africa.
