The farms became a mining camp and that camp has since grown to be one of the biggest cities in the world today -JOBURG, JOZI, EGOLI, THE CITY OF GOLD, JOHANNESBURG.

Constitution Hill Our tour takes us through the city centre where some of the attractions are;

* Constitution Hill – houses the new Constitution Court and the old Fort Prison Complex (better known by locals as Number 4). Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi and many other political prisoners spent time in this jail. The holding cells for women political prisoners still look like the time when Winnie Mandela and others were occupants of the cells. The videos of those prisoners narrating their time in this jail will make you really understand the horrors of apartheid.
