Shell House (Johannesburg)


Shell House is the former head office of the African National Congress in South Africa. It is a 22 floor building located at 1 Plein Street, Johannesburg. It was the scene of the Shell House massacre on 28 March 1994, when ANC security guards opened fire on a crowd of about 20,000 supporters of the rival Inkatha Freedom Party, killing nineteen people. The ANC relocated its head office from Shell House to Luthuli House in 1997.
