South African Tourism and the
Nelson Mandela Foundation launched the
"Madiba-inspired tourist attractions" map, which encourages tourists from around the world and
South Africa to travel the country and walk in the footsteps of
Nelson Mandela, in 2014. The map has now been developed into a
GPS-enabled mobile phone app to further enhance visitors’ experiences in
South Africa. The app uses location-based services and features tourist sites as well as general places of interest, including
Mandela's post-presidential office at the
Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory in
Johannesburg, the
Nelson Mandela Statue at
Union Buildings in
Pretoria,
Nobel Square at the
V&A Waterfront,
Robben Island and
Pollsmoor Prison (all in
Cape Town) and
Qunu in the
Eastern Cape, where Madbia was laid to rest.

Apple iTunes store (iOS devices) and the
Google Play store (Android devices). It will soon be available in other languages, including Afrikaans, Zulu, Xhosa, Dutch, French, German, Italian, simple Mandarin and Portuguese.
