1. Constitution Hill


What is it? Constitution Hill is a world heritage site based in Johannesburg where South Africa’s first democratic president, Nelson Mandela, spent part of his life fighting for the liberation of the people of this country. It is a living museum filled with many memories of the African heroes who fought for the freedom South Africa enjoys today.
Why go? The journey on the premises is worth every step. It reveals the horrific pain that thousands of ancestors suffered for the sake of democracy. Visiting ConHill allows you to witness how a place of injustice and oppression has become a testament to the strength and power of the human race.
Right in front of the court, you will witness the Flame of Democracy, which Nelson Mandela ignited on 9 December 2011 to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the signing of the South African Constitution.
