 We start our experience with a visit of Constitution Hill - the site of

Johannesburg's notorious Old Fort Prison Complex, commonly known as Number Four, where thousands of ordinary people were brutally punished before the dawn of democracy in 1994.

 

 Many of South Africa's leading political activists, including Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela, were detained here.

 

With the move of the Constitutional Court to the prison site, what was once a place of injustice and brutality has become a place of solidarity and democracy for South Africa.

Constitution Hill features an interactive

 

experience that celebrate South Africa's journey from its struggle against apartheid to the adoption of one of the most progressive constitutions in the world.
