Mandela said the house “should serve as a place of gather of the Mandela family in order to maintain its unity long after death.”
Mandela later amended the will to say that the trustees should allow other Mandela family members and members of his wife Graca Machel’s family members to visit and stay at the Houghton property.

The Qunu property should be used by my family in perpetuity in order to preserve the unity of the Mandela family,” Mandela wrote.
