Genadendal Residence is the official Cape Town residence of the president of South Africa, situated on the Groote Schuur estate in Rondebosch. It has been the official residence since 1994 when Nelson Mandela took up residence here rather than the main Groote Schuur manor house. The mixed Victorian-Georgian residence, formerly known as Westbrooke, is named after the town of Genadendal – itself an Afrikaans word meaning "Valley of Mercy", until it was changed to the current name in 1995.
