Located in Rivonia, Liliesleaf farm was bought as a safe house for anti-apartheid activists in the 1960s. It served as the secret headquarters of not only the ANC, but the SACP and Umkhonto we Sizwe too. Nelson Mandela, posing as a domestic worker, used it as a hideout. Now almost 60 years later, despite efforts to secure funding, the site that has been turned into a museum is in danger. CEO of Liliesleaf, Nic Wolpe - whose father was involved in the original sale of the site - is taking on the struggle of saving this heritage site with a funding campaign. This comes amid reports that several other sites linked to the anti-apartheid movement - including some of the homes Nelson Mandela occupied - are falling into disrepair. Wolpe told BizNews about his campaign to raise R10 million to save Liliesleaf in the short term.
