Walter and Albertina Sisulu: Parenting a Nation exhibition, a donation from Nelson Mandela Foundation explores the private and political lives of the Sisulu family during the apartheid struggle. The exhibition gives viewers an in-depth understanding of their role in the emancipation of South Africa, as well as of their deep love and abiding affection for one another. Mandela’s summing up of the couple is also highlighted: “One cannot talk about Walter without Albertina – they were an indomitable team,” he said. Theirs was “a unity of such deep friendship and mutual respect, a personal and political partnership that transcended and survived all hardships and persecution”. Walter and Albertina met at the General Hospital in 1941, where the latter was a nurse. Their extraordinary love story traversed 59 years. They married in 1944, with Mandela as their Best Man, and had five children.
