Begin with a drive to Sea Point Promenade, where a pair of giant stainless-steel sunglasses, meant to honour the late president Nelson Mandela, stares out to Robben Island, where he was incarcerated. Hear more about Robben Island, a symbol of resilience, hope, & the fight for justice in South Africa. Travel to Bonteheuwel and Athlone on the Cape Flats, a cultural hub with significant ties to the anti-apartheid struggle. Enjoy a local delicacy. Hear more about the Athlone heroes, Ashley Kriel, that was shot dead by the security police at a ‘safe house’ in Athlone and Anton Fransch, who faced a brutal end in the epic ‘Battle of Athlone’. Visit the Trojan Horse Memorial, commemorating the Trojan Horse Massacre, when three young people were killed and several others injured by members of the apartheid security police. The tour returns & concludes at the Cape Town City Hall, where Nelson Mandela first addressed the nation as a free man on 11 February 1990, after 27 years in jail.
