A HISTORIC landmark and international tourist attraction, The Mandela House in Vilakazi Street in Orlando West, is to be liquidated.
The assets belonging to the museum will be sold to pay off debtors, and employees are facing the prospect of losing their jobs.
“We will suffer big time if the museum is closed,” Dikengkeng Komane, who has been working at the museum for 22 years, told
Daily Sun.
Dikengkeng said they weren’t informed about this move.
“On Tuesday, a private security guard came and changed the locks and told us the place was being liquidated and that we won’t work until further notice,” she said.
