About Kimberley › Historic Buildings & Monuments › Sol Plaatje Museum

Sol Plaatje Museum & Library

The Sol Plaatje Museum and Library is the house where Solomon T. Plaatje lived during his last years at 32 Angel Street which was in the former Malay Camp. It was here that Plaatje wrote his novel Mhudi.

The Sol Plaatje Educational Trust was set up in 1991 to serve as a custodian for this and other legacy projects. In 1992, 32 Angel Street was declared a National Monument  and is also a Provincial Heritage Site.

Plaatje's grave in West End Cemetery, Kimberley, is also a provincial heritage site (photo by the DFA during the wreath laying by President Ramaphosa during the 108th ANC birthday celebration on 8th January 2020)
