The next plaque (ANC) is at 28 Penton Street where the African National Congress (ANC) was based between 1978 and 1994. It was from here that exiles Oliver Tambo and future President Thabo Mbeki (both shown here) planned the overthrow of the apartheid South African regime. ///rescue.shares.unit

In March 1982 the building survived a terrorist bomb explosion planted by agents working for the South African government. The ANC moved out of the Penton Street premises when Nelson Mandela was elected president in South Africa's first democratic elections in 1994. 

The anti-apartheid movement was succeeded by Action for Southern Africa (ACTSA) who remained in the building until 2006. Honoured guests at the unveiling of the commemorative plaque on 22 February 2010 included His Excellency Dr Zola Skweyiya, High Commissioner for South Africa and Jak Beula, chair of educational heritage organisation Nubian Jak Ltd. Nubian Jak worked in partnership with the council to help provide this special plaque.
