Johannesburg (IINA) – The capture site of South African former President Nelson Mandela will undergo a multi-million dollar upgrade, Xinhua news agency reported.
Mandela was arrested by apartheid police at the site located in Howick, KwaZulu-Natal province on 5 August 1962.
Nomusa Dube-Ncube, member of executive council of KwaZulu-Natal's Cooperative Governance, said around $8.5 million had been allocated to build various facilities including historical and conference centers.
"We are going to have a permanent museum that will have the entire historical context of South Africa's struggle, but also our former President Nelson Mandela as a statesman, a prisoner and an international icon," said Dube-Ncube.
The first phase of the upgrade is expected to be completed at the end of August.
