The museum was meant to offer youth programmes, accommodation and economic spin offs to the community of Qunuin Qunu in the Eastern Cape.
In the past, locals have complained about ineffectiveness and failure by the museum to improve the socio-economic standing of the area. The museum was meant to offer youth programmes, accommodation and economic spin offs to the community of Qunu. The embattled museum has been officially handed over to Public Works and is set to receive a much-needed upgrade worth over R35 million.
The museum has been standing idle since 2014 pending renovations. It was becoming a white elephant, a far cry from what Nelson Mandela espoused.“When tata Nelson Mandela wanted the museum to be built he wanted the adventure sites at the museum to attract tourists and used by our children. He wanted employment to be created and create a conducive environment for local entrepreneurs,” says local chief Inkosi Nokwanele Balizulu.
