Johannesburg Apartheid History Tour with Museum Entry

Explore Johannesburg's apartheid history on a guided tour. Visit Constitution Hill, the Hector Pieterson Memorial, and the Apartheid Museum.
Begin your journey at Constitution Hill, a former prison complex that once held political prisoners such as Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi. Walk through the Old Fort Prison, where activists were detained under harsh apartheid laws. Visit the Number Four Prison, once used for Black male prisoners, and explore the Women’s Gaol, which tells the stories of women imprisoned for resistance.

Enter the Constitutional Court of South Africa, a symbol of democracy built on the site of past injustice. Constitution Hill represents South Africa’s transformation—from a place of suffering to the seat of justice and human rights.

Next, travel to Soweto, the heart of the 1976 student uprising against apartheid education policies. Visit the Hector Pieterson Memorial, honoring one of the first students killed during the uprising. See the famous image location of Hector being carried by Mbuyisa Makhubo.

Walk through exhibits detailing the Soweto Uprising of June 16, 1976, and learn about youth resistance and its role in accelerating the end of apartheid. This site captures the courage of young South Africans who stood up against injustice, changing the country’s future forever.

End your tour at the world-renowned Apartheid Museum, the most comprehensive storytelling space on apartheid history. Experience a symbolic entry experience symbolizing racial classification with separate entrances.

Take a chronological journey through apartheid’s rise and fall with powerful photography, films, and personal testimonies. See exhibits on Nelson Mandela’s imprisonment and release and the transition to democracy in 1994.
