Half Day Cape Town Anti-Apartheid Struggle Tour 2025
From R940
per personTravel with an expert local guide to Bonteheuwel and Athlone on the Cape Flats, a cultural hub with significant ties to the anti-apartheid struggle.
We follow 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, an important historic site, that is a symbol of resilience, hope and the fight for justice in South Africa.
Afterwards, travel with an expert local guide to Bonteheuwel and Athlone on the Cape Flats, a cultural hub with significant ties to the anti-apartheid struggle. Enjoy a famous local delicacy, The Gatsby, that is thought to have originated in the heart of the Cape Flats. Hear more about the Athlone heroes, the 20-year-old anti-apartheid activist, Ashley Kriel, that was shot dead by the security police at a ‘safe house’ in Athlone and Anton Fransch, a dedicated member of the South African education community, 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 to Cape Town and 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, the most striking symbol of the end of apartheid in South Africa, paving the way for the first democratic general election held in April 1994.
