Mandela’s Village: Mandela was no saint
Morris Mandela at the house that his cousin Nelson Mandela built for him in the village of Qunu, in South Africa’s Eastern Cape province. Nelson Mandela spent his boyhood here, and after being released from prison in 1990, Mandela also built himself a home in Qunu. Morris, 78, is one of his last close relatives remaining in the village.
