The Nelson Mandela Institute is located within Mandela’s alma matre, the University of Fort Hare (UFH), in his home province of the Eastern Cape.
Beyond producing known leaders of the African liberation movement, Fort Hare has a proud history of building leaders across science, history, agriculture, art, music and commerce.
The Eastern Cape is located along the eastern coast of South Africa, the second largest province in democratic South Africa. With a proud history of anti-colonial struggle, the Eastern Cape is currently one of the most rural and impoverished provinces in South Africa, confronting many of the educational challenges shared with the rest of the African Continent.
