Today, 54 years ago, Nelson Mandela was arrested─── 13:26 Fri, 05 Aug 2016
The former South African statesman's prison term began when he was arrested in Cedara, a small town near Howick, in KwaZulu-Natal, in 1962.
He was apprehended soon after returning from a six-month covert trip through Africa and London where he gathered support for the African National Congress’ armed wing, Umkhonto weSizwe (MK).
He was charged with leaving the country without a passport and inciting workers to strike.
