An NFT version of an arrest warrant for anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela has raised $130,550 at auction, with proceeds going towards a museum preserving the history of South Africa's anti-apartheid struggle.
South Africa's first democratic, black president was arrested on August 5, 1962, and later jailed for 27 years.
"This is really a unique and novel way of generating income," Liliesleaf Farm museum founder, Nicholas Wolpe told AFP. It has been kept at the Liliesleaf Farm heritage site archives in Johannesburg since around 2006, said Wolpe.
