For nearly
400 years, Robben Island, 12 kilometres from Cape Town,
was a place of banishment, exile, isolation and imprisonment.
It was here that rulers sent those they regarded as political
troublemakers, social outcasts and the unwanted of society.
The Robben Island Museum Tours Department includes some
ex-political prisoners who act as tour guides on Cape Town's
World Heritage Site. The three and a half hour tour includes
a return trip across Table Bay, a visit to the Maximum
Security Prison, interaction with an ex-political prisoner
and a 45 minute bus tour with a guide providing commentary.
"Never, and never again shall it be that this beautiful land shall ever
experience oppression of one by another."
Nelson R Mandela 1994 |
