Held in trust by the family

The Mazisi Kunene Foundation Trust was established in 2005 to preserve the archive, the museum and the legacy of Professor Mazisi Kunene, and to share them widely.

Custodianship

Sixty years of family care

Professor Kunene and Mrs Mathabo Kunene married in London during his diplomatic work for the ANC, the same years in which much of the manuscript archive was written. The archive has stayed in the family's care ever since: never dispersed, never divided.
