Description
English: The outbuildings at Liliesleaf, Rivonia, South Africa, a "safe house" purchased on behalf the then-banned anti-apartheid organisation, the African National Congress in 1961. At the time the property was a 11 hectare smallholding, though now it is part of suburbia (The grey building in the background is not part of the estate). These buildings appeared to be servant's quarters and storerooms, but were in reality accommodation and office-space for top ANC officials. Visitors to the house would normally have no interest in the "servant's quarters".

The house was raided by the South African Police on 11 July 1963, a day when most of the ANC hierarchy were present. Those arrested included Walter Sisulu, Govan Mbeki, Raymond Mahlaba, Ahmed Kathrada, Arthur Goldreich, Dennis Goldberg and Lionel Bernstein.
