The history of Kholvad House records Dr. Yusuf Dadoo as one of the early Chairpersons of the Board of Trustees, and the Communist Party leader Rusty Bernstein as the building’s architect. This combination may not have been planned, but may unconsciously have presaged a place for Flat 13 as part of the history of the struggle. In any comprehensive history of the struggle for democracy, Flat 13, Kholvad House is sure to earn its rightful place.[1]
In his book “Long Walk to Freedom’, Nelson Mandela writes:-
At Wits I met and became friends with Ismail Meer, J. N. Singh, Ahmed Bhoola and Ramlal Bhoolia. The centre of this tight-knit community was Ismail’s apartment, Flat 13, Kholvad House. . . . . . There we studied, talked. . . . . . and it became a kind of headquarters for young freedom fighters . I sometimes slept here. . . . . . . . . . (Page 105, Long Walk to Freedom)
