DID YOU KNOW?

The House of Mandela w**e story began in 2010. In 2013, the Thembu Collection was introduced, bringing the heritage behind our name to w**es made to be enjoyed and shared every day.

W**e has always been about more than what is held in a bottle. It speaks of land and lineage, of time and tending, of the stories that unfold when people gather around a table.

The Thembu Collection was given a lab refresh but its invitation remains the same: to open, to share, and to make room for connection.

Discover the story behind the w**e in this short excerpt of the original launch video made in 2013.

The refreshed Thembu w**es are available online through D’Aria W**ery (link in bio)

The House of Mandela. A heritage carried forward, and shared.

| June 21, 1990

Just four months after his release from 27 years in prison, Madiba sat down with ABC’s Ted Koppel at City College in Harlem for his first ever US town meeting. Over 71 minutes, in front of an over-capacity crowd at Aaron Davis Hall.

In this moment, Koppel pressed him on his friendships with Yasser Arafat, Fidel Castro and Muammar Gaddafi.

Madiba was completely unperturbed.

No politicking. No pretense. No adjusting his beliefs to make others comfortable. He stood up for his principles, unashamedly - reminding the world that he would not be told who his friends should be.

This clip stays with us because it shows everything we loved about him - his integrity and his humour. He could stand firm on his principles and still end with a smile that had the whole auditorium on its feet.

The principle never left the man, and the man never lost his joy.

That was Madiba. Unwavering in his beliefs. Unapologetically himself.

THE STRUGGLE SERIES

So…
WHAT WILL YOU CHOOSE TO CARRY FORWARD?

There is a moment in every awakening when seeing is no longer enough.

You begin to understand what freedom means.
You begin to understand what was taken.
And then comes the question of what you will do with that understanding.

In 2001, Madiba drew five simple images of hands.

Struggle. Imprisonment. Freedom. Unity. Future.

He wrote:

“These sketches are not so much about my life as they are about my own country.”

And of the hands:

“Hands can hurt or heal, punish or uplift.”

Perhaps that is why these artworks continue to speak.

Because hands carry memory.
They carry work.
They carry history.
They carry one another.

They can hold what came before us.
They can reach across what divides us.
And they can shape what comes next.

Madiba understood that the future is never simply something we arrive at.

It is something we leave our hands upon.

So, as we remember the struggle, perhaps the question for each of us is not only what have we inherited?

But:

What will we choose to carry forward?

This is where memory becomes meaning.
Where history becomes responsibility.
Where the future becomes ours to shape.

There are moments that change what you understand about yourself.

For Madiba, one came in the hills of the Eastern Cape, when the promise of manhood met the reality of a country that would not allow him the freedom to live as one.

The ritual was complete.
The passage had been made.

But the words of the Chief opened something deeper:

What does it mean to become a man in a country that denies you your freedom?

It was an awakening.

A recognition that freedom was not simply something to inherit.
It was something that would have to be understood.
Struggled for.
And, ultimately, imagined differently.

Today, those words return to us through Tukwini’s voice, carrying the memory of an awakening that changed the course of our story, and this country’s history.

Perhaps every journey towards freedom begins this way.

With the moment we can no longer unsee.
Which leaves us all with the question Madiba never stopped asking of himself, and never stopped asking of us.
What will you do, once you know?

Part one of two.
Next: the hands Madiba drew, and what he wrote beneath them.

In this message, Tukwini Mandela pays homage to Evelyn Mandela, umama wosapho lwethu, the grandmother of our family.

We honour the women whose love became the foundation of generations.
The grandmothers who shaped the women who shaped us.
Whose presence became part of our becoming.
Whose legacy lives quietly, beautifully, in who we are today.

As August and Women’s Month draws to a close, we remember them all.
The women who came before us.
The women who made us.
We must carry their light forward. ✨

The world sang for Madiba long before it could see him.

In 1988, six hundred million people watched Wembley fill for his seventieth birthday. He was in a cell, and he never saw a moment of it.

Free Nelson Mandela, a new three-part series, tells the story of the largest campaign ever mounted to free a single prisoner. It tells it through the songs. Peter Gabriel wrote Biko. Jerry Dammers wrote a chorus that taught millions a name they had never heard. Miriam Makeba, in exile from home drew Gil Scott-Heron and Bob Marley into the struggle.

Dr Makaziwe Mandela is among the voices in the series.

Streaming now on Channel 4 in the UK. We will tell you the moment there is a way to watch it here at home.

Some memories are told. Others are drawn.

In the years after his presidency, Madiba turned to art as another way of remembering.

Through his own hand, he returned to places, moments and symbols that remained with him.

The Acacia Tree is one of those memories.

A tree. A place of gathering. A symbol of strength and resilience, of being deeply rooted while continuing to endure. Steadfast.

What began as something deeply personal to Madiba now forms part of the House of Mandela Collection, allowing these memories to live beyond the hand that first drew them.

And to be carried into homes, lives and stories of their own.

This is not simply art to own.

It is a memory to carry.

From Memory.
The House of Mandela.

Today is a reminder.

A reminder that Madiba’s legacy was never meant to be remembered only on one day. It was meant to be lived.

In this special Mandela Day message, Dr. Maki Mandela reflects on the values that guided Madiba’s life and the responsibility we all share to carry them forward.

His light lives on in every act of compassion, every choice to listen, every moment we choose humanity over division.

This Mandela Day, we remind ourselves of what we choose to carry into the world.

THE BEE
• The Bee represents the House of Mandela. It is the literal translation of our father and grandfathers name Rolihlahla; colloquially meaning, "one who is brave enough to challenge the status quo"
• The wings represent the many branches of our family tree
• In addition to his name representing courage, it also represents compassion and a concern for others.

“After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there many more hills to climb.” - Nelson Mandela. This quote resonates with us so much because that is just the cycle of life. Always teaching some lesson you had no intention of learning. We never stop learning and growing until we take our last breath on this planet.
