ABOUT US



Liliesleaf is one of South Africa’s foremost national heritage sites. Between
1961 and 1963, Liliesleaf served as the secret headquarters and nerve centre of
the ANC, SACP, Umkhonto we Sizwe and the Congress Alliance.

On 11 July 1963, the police, acting on a tip-off, raided Liliesleaf and arrested
the core leadership of the underground liberation movement. Following the raid,
ten people were put on trial to face charges of 193 counts of sabotage against
the state.

Nelson Mandela, who was already serving a prison sentence at the time of the
raid, became Accused Number 1. With him in the dock were Walter Sisulu, Denis
Goldberg, Govan Mbeki, Ahmed Kathrada, Lionel ‘Rusty’ Bernstein, Raymond Mhlaba,
James Kantor, Elias Motsoaledi and Andrew Mlangeni.

Kantor and Bernstein were acquitted but the other eight were found guilty and
sentenced to life in prison. The raid on Liliesleaf and the subsequent
imprisonment of the leaders of the struggle dealt a hammer blow to the
liberation movement and internal resistance to apartheid.

Today, Liliesleaf is home to extraordinary exhibitions that tell the story of
the journey to democracy in South Africa. Liliesleaf is more than just a
national heritage site; it is also a site of memory that keeps the history of
our liberation alive.

The loveliest times at [Liliesleaf] farm was when I was visited by my wife and
family…
At these weekends time would sometimes seem to stop as we pretended that these
stolen moments together were the rule not the exception of our lives.
Ironically, we had more privacy at Liliesleaf than we ever had at home. The
children would run about and play, and we were secure, however briefly, in this
bubble.
~ Nelson Mandela
