Our Story: Hosting President Nelson Mandela
In 1995, the second year of his presidency, Nelson Mandela visited our school in Mitchells Plain to make a historic announcement. I had the honour of being the host. All went well until he reprimanded me in front of thousands and the cameras of the world.
My name is Eugene Daniels. I taught history once. Now I guide. I have spent my life trying to give young people a future unlike the one shaped by apartheid. I love this city. Not only the mountain, the island, the gardens, the cape, or the wine. I love its stories. Stories of courage and endurance. Of struggle and of victory.
I can offer you a tour of our city's iconic sites such as Table Mountain, Cape Point or a walk along the Liesbeeck River or an unforgettable tours of struggle sites where we fought for freedom against Apartheid.
