![Constitution Hill from the ramparts - Heritage Portal - 2010](https://www.theheritageportal.co.za/sites/default/files/styles/adaptive/public/Constitution%20Hill%20from%20the%20ramparts%20-%20Heritage%20Portal%20-%202010.jpg?itok=m4gxsMNc)
Walk with me through prisons that tell the story of brutality and unimaginable hardship for black people in apartheid prisons. Hear about then 16-year-old Seth Mazibuko, who was brought in in chains and handcuffs, and who lives with phobias from his prison experience over 40 years later. Step into the hospital cell where Nelson Mandela spent time. Contemplate life for Winnie Madikizela-Mandela in a tiny tin shack in the Women’s Gaol. Then, let your spirit soar as you enter the Constitutional Court, and be blown away by how this is possibly the only place in the country where every South African can see something that acknowledges their culture, language and ambitions.
