Nelson Mandela was in Cell #5. It contains a bowl, a spoon, a plate, cupboards, a bucket and a neatly-folded blanket. No bed."We didn't get beds until 1974, after a serious struggle," Matanjana recalled. "One prisoner died from double pneumonia, so we went on a hunger strike for seven days. The Minister of Justice ignored us, but finally the Red Cross intervened and persuaded him to give us beds."
