Qunu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Qunu is a small rural village in South Africa's Eastern Cape Province, near where Nelson Mandela was born, and where he retired after leaving office. It is the village to which Nelson Mandela's father relocated after being deposed as Mvezo chief. In his book 'Long Walk to Freedom', Mandela clearly states that Qunu is where he spent the happiest moments of his childhood. Qunu is located, 32 kms south-west of Mthatha on the road between Butterworth and Mthatha.
