This museum, dedicated to activist and writer Sol Plaatje, occupies the house where he lived until his death in 1932. Panels tell the story of his life – he was known for being the first black South African to write a novel in English and for translating Shakespeare into Tswana. There are also displays on apartheid-era resistance press and information on forced removals.
