Understand the history of Johannesburg with the help of a guide on a sightseeing tour of the city. At Constitutional Hill, learn about the rebellious Boer soldiers who fought with the British soldiers at the turn of the century, the Soweto Uprising, and South Africa’s Constitutional Court, which is partially built with bricks from one of the old prison buildings, complemented with lighter contemporary elements.
Visitors can also see the court in session after a tour, which includes a look at Mandela’s cell as well as a permanent exhibition dedicated to Gandhi’s philosophy of nonviolent protest.
