Constitution Hill Human Rights Precinct
One of my favourite tours. Visit the prison that Mandela, Ghandi and many famous politicians spent doing jail time. You also see the Old Fort, Ladies Prison and the new Constitutional Court. It’s a sad history of how badly people where treated and hopefully with our new constitution this will not happen again. Cost is R 90 per person
