JOHANNESBURG CITY HERITAGE
BEYERS NAUDÉ HOUSE
For over 20 years, from 1977-2000, this
was the home of anti-apartheid clergyman Beyers
Naudé and his wife Ilsa. While in Greenside, he suffered
banning, house arrest and harassment from the
apartheid state. From here the aging "Oom Bey"
moved to Northcliff, becoming a congregant at the
Aasvoëlkop N G Kerk, where he had condemned
apartheid from the pulpit in 1963. A rebel
Afrikaner, he is admired for his
transformation from Broederbond-
dominee to anti-apartheid hero.
