Nelson Mandela
This famous little windswept island has captured hearts and minds around the globe in recent history. Situated just a few kilometers from the glitzy Waterfront, it was "home" to Nelson Mandela for almost 20 years.

Today it has become a symbol of freedom, the transformative power of forgiveness and a place of political pilgrimage.
