Tour Description

You will be picked up at your accommodation at 9:00 am and embark on a journey to visit the Heritage museum located in Johannesburg called the constitutional hill on a half-day tour. There is perhaps no other site of incarceration in South Africa that imprisoned the sheer number of world-renowned men and women as those held within the walls of Constitution Hill’s Old Fort, Women’s Jail, and number 4 Nelson Mandela. Mahatma Gandhi. Joe Slovo. Albertina Sisulu. Winnie Madikizela-Mandela. Fatima Meer. They all served time here, but the precinct also confined tens of thousands of ordinary people during its 100-year history. They were men and women of all races, creeds, ages, and political agendas; children too, the everyman and the elite. In this way, the history of every South African life here.
