Nelson Mandela’s personal items under the hammer in New York? Why it outraged some, and what’s at stake

These are just some of Nelson Mandela’s personal items that were due to go on auction on 22 February 2024.

Key Points:

These are just some of Nelson Mandela’s personal items that were due to go on auction on 22 February 2024.
South African government officials, commentators on South African social media, and even members of the family of South Africa’s late former president expressed shocked disbelief.
The South African Heritage Resources Agency, which coordinates the identification and management of national heritage, learned of the auction through the report.
It claimed that the items were heritage objects and that they had been exported from South Africa without the relevant permits.
The outrage directed against the proposed auction can be traced to the personal and intimate nature of the items.

Judgment

The Pretoria High Court handed down its judgment on the basis of the facts brought before it.
But in its judgment, the court found that definition the state wanted for heritage status was
so overbroad that just about anything that President Mandela touched or is associated with, or related to him, can be considered a heritage object.
Nevertheless, it was for these reasons that the items were not declared heritage objects.

Contested terrain

By definition it raises questions about the South African Heritage Resources Agency and its role as a custodian of national heritage.
Possession comes with all kinds of responsibilities of care and public education.
This trend can be traced back to Nelson Mandela’s own participation in the marketing of his legacy for charitable ventures.
And they would be put to good use in commemorative projects befitting Nelson Mandela’s legacy in Qunu and beyond.
