Belgravia Mandela catalogue Q7:Text 21/5/08 12:51 Page 34 “...The courtyard in Robben Island was an unfriendly, empty and barren place. It was a sombre reminder of

offered me a sense of freedom and satisfaction that is hard to put into words even today. A garden is one of
the few things in prison that one could control...”
