Constitution Hill Visit, Johannesburg✔
Everything you want to know about South Africa you will find in this channel!
Situated in the heart of Johannesburg, Constitution Hill is a living museum that tells the story of South Africa’s transition from colonialism and apartheid to democracy, with all the pain, pathos and catharsis that such a journey entails.
The site served as a prison and briefly as a military fort for 100 years, incarcerating men, women and even children within its walls. Its long-standing history of incarceration and abuse is today laid bare for all to see (which you can do with a personal guide). The sites of these museums – the Old Fort, the Women's Jail and Number Four – are juxtaposed against profound symbols of human rights, democracy and constitutionalism, making the site a place of remembrance and redemption.

Constitution Hill is a city precinct, anchored by the South African Constitutional Court -- the highest court in the country on constitutional matters. Constitution Hill is also the site of Johannesburg's notorious Old Fort Prison Complex, where thousands of ordinary people were brutally punished before the dawn of democracy.
Many of South Africa's political activists, including Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and Walter Sisulu were detained here. What once was a place of injustice and brutality has been transformed into a place of solidarity and democracy.
