To earmark this milestone, the centre has planned various events during March and April with various themes such as democracy, human rights and constitutionalism. The first of these events will be the Time Travel tour which will take place on Human Rights Day and then again in April. This tour will see tour guides dressed in warder uniforms and visitors given an opportunity to experience the lives and struggles of prisoners.
The tour price will be reduced to R20 per person in commemoration of 20 years of democracy, Human Rights Day and Freedom Day.
ConHill, a national heritage site, is a subsidiary of the Gauteng Growth and Development Agency and also home to the Constitutional Court of South Africa.
The establishment also houses the notorious Old Fort prison complex and Number 4 detention area where South Africa’s leading political activists including Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi were detained during the struggle.
