Depart Johannesburg and proceed to Pretoria. The City of Tshwane is home to the Union Buildings – residence of the Presidency and his government and home to Parliament during the winter months. Pretoria is also a place of culture with a series of theatres, museums and monuments. Stop at the Voortrekker Monument, visit the Paul Kruger House Museum and drive around Church Square which was the scene of arguably the most famous political trial in South Africa's history, the Rivonia Treason Trial.
Drive past the Union Buildings and possibly stop for a photo opportunity. Depart Pretoria and proceed to Lesedi Cultural Village. Enjoy a visit to the Lesedi Cultural Village and experience the ethnic heart of Southern Africa at this unique venue. Take a tour around the many cultural diversities of our rainbow nation in a natural environment, enjoying their delicious cuisine and tribal dancing, and meet the Chief in his Royal Kraal. Time permitting, stop at National Botanical Gardens.
The tour kicks off on 2nd Avenue we visit King's Cinema, an out-of-service movie theatre dating back to 1968, but was rebuilt after it was bombed by apartheid forces in 1984.
Gallery Homes are next on the agenda. At the Gallery home on 4th Avenue we view Alexandra Township through the eyes of local artists. View paintings that depict the development of Alexandra and even other themes that provoke the mind. Just off 7th Avenue we visit Tumi, another artist at his Gallery Home and studio where there is a collection of works on canvases depicting everything from dreams and visions, world icons, and abstract imagery.
End the tour with a pass by Nelson Mandela’s first residence in Alexandra Township when he first came to Johannesburg.
This tour offers a wealth of insight into South African history. It includes a brief educational introduction to Cape Town, one of the world’s most varied and popular cities.
The day commences with a look at the picturesque “Bo-Kaap” – an historic area that became home to many Muslims and freed slaves after the abolition of slavery and is a living cultural museum and home to the oldest mosque in the Southern Hemisphere. We discover the unique culture, lifestyle and personality of the Cape Muslim community and their contribution to South Africa’s development.
Here we shall walk through the area and stop at the Bo-Kaap Museum which was established in 1978 as a satellite of the SA Cultural History Museum. It was furnished as a house that depicts the lifestyle of a nineteenth-century Muslim family and the local Islamic culture and heritage.
From here we head east into the central business district of the city precinct and stop at the Slave Lodge. Under the umbrella theme, ‘From human wrongs to human rights, exhibitions on the lower level of this museum explore the long history of slavery in South Africa. Through the changing, temporary exhibitions the museum address issues around and raise awareness of human rights.
During the latter part of the morning we examine the area of Zonnebloem, which was District Six and visit the living museum. The District Six Museum, established in December 1994, works with the memories of the District Six experience and with that of forced removals more generally. With the struggle for the land now taking a different form (of the more banal yet intricate logistics, legalities and bureaucratic mechanisms of RETURN which are no longer pitted against apartheid) the museum is now bound to support the process of 'reinventing' District Six for the present.
Around 12h30 your tour will arrive at the Nelson Mandela Gateway & Museum, Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. Check in for your ferry trip across the bay to Robben Island for a guided tour of the island as well as a tour of the prison by an ex in-mate.
Embark on a historical and cultural orientation tour of Port Elizabeth. Visit the Red Location Museum, a museum in New Brighton Township that portrays ‘both the horrors of institutionalised racism and the heroic efforts of the anti-apartheid movement’. Also stop at the Donkin Reserve, proclaimed by city founder Sir Rufane Donkin, where birds, benches, walking paths, an opera house, a lighthouse and a memorial may be seen.
Port Elizabeth is also home to Route 67 – a collection of 67 art pieces celebrating the years Nelson Mandela devoted to public life. It is a mix of visual arts, urban design and heritage, showcasing old Victorian churches; terraced cottages on Donkin Street – where massive silver pipes catch the famous winds of Port Elizabeth and make music; a lighthouse that once guided ships into Algoa Bay; and a large pyramid built by Donkin in memory of his wife.
Return to your hotel in the late afternoon.
