Uxolo is a great little guesthouse in the suburb of Norwood, and in the hub of resistance movement history. The house itself was a safehouse where communist leaders met during the apartheid struggle. Across the road is the house that Nelson Mandela often took refuge in, disguised as a garden worker. The photographer Eli Weinberg and the Communist Party chief theoritician Michael Harmel lived further down the road. So for political history Uxolo is in a really interesting place, and proprietor Karen is in the know. Great beds, comfortable rooms and very reasonable rates all add to the appeal.
