Johannesburg

It is a little more difficult to get around Johannesburg than we thought, so we took advantage of the hotel recommended driver. He spent the entire day with us and he was very nice and accommodating.

The Apartheid Museum

We learned so much about the history of South Africa, both their struggles and their triumphs. The entrance began with this quote from Nelson Mandela.

‘To be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects the freedom of others.”

We were each given an entry ticket with either “white” or “non-white” written on it. We then had to enter in the appropriate door.

Throughout the museum we saw and read about the injustices, racism and all the laws inacted to keep the non-whites separated and in their place. Following are some images.

Our guide drove us around to some other sites of the city.
