Sikumbule Nathi Guest House | Mthatha, Eastern Cape
Umtata or Mthatha as it is now known is Madiba country because this is where Nelson Mandela grew up, spending a good part of his youth in Qunu. Today, the main buildings of the Nelson Mandela Museum are in Umtata. Transkei still has areas where all the old traditions remain intact, and today tourists can actually stay in homes and live the life of the Xhosa and do the Nelson Mandela Route which starts in King Williams Town to Umtata….
