Wonderfully located while overlooking the city of Johannesburg, Constitution Hill is a place you must definitely not miss out on. A visit to this place will take you back in time, where you can witness the struggles of the South African people. Visit the museum and marvel at the fantastic representation of the struggling journey to democracy. Being a place of historical importance, you are sure to be overwhelmed by every corner of this site. Once a fort, later a prison and now a museum, there is much to explore here.
The edifice had also been home to notable prisoners, who were women, such as Winnie Mandela. She was imprisoned for being a political activist. Walking through the Old Fort, you will be guided into learning about South Africa’s arduous road towards Freedom, Democracy, and lastly, the establishment of a fair Constitution.
