Mandela is moved to Victor Verster prison

The government moved African National Congress (ANC) leader Nelson Mandela from the Constantiaberg private clinic in Cape Town, where he had been recovering from tuberculosis, to a house on the grounds of the Victor Verster Prison, near Paarl, east of Cape Town, where he was given a large warder's house to live in (with a swimming pool and a big garden) as well as a personal cook.
