Parenting a Nation: Walter and Albertina Sisulu
“Walter and Albertina Sisulu: Parenting a Nation” is an intimate account of the private and political lives of the Sisulu family during the struggle against apartheid.
The exhibition was developed by the Nelson Mandela Foundation in partnership with the Sisulu family and the Walter Sisulu Paediatric Cardiac Centre for Africa. Through photographs, text and archival documents, the exhibition recounts a struggle within a struggle: the 26 years Walter Sisulu spent in jail, and the impact this had on his family.
The exhibition will run until July at the Nelson Mandela Foundation and it is open to the public by appointment. Please contact Zanele Riba or Razia Saleh at (011) 728 1000 for more information.
