This tour is a re-enactment of apartheid South Africa, and the treatment of prisoners behind the walls of Constitution Hill. This is an interactive, experiential tour that gives visitors a first-hand experience of life in the cells. It encourages participants to relive and re-enact historical events that occurred at Constitution Hill in order to reflect on contemporary issues in a local historical setting. The Constitution Hill time-travel scenario focuses on the student uprising in Soweto on 16 June 1976.

Following a briefing session, participants will travel back in time to 1976: they will be arrested on arrival, processed and detained for two hours. This will be followed by a 30-minute debriefing session and a light lunch. Activities during the tour include conducting tasks that prisoners would have undertaken, educational games and addressing key questions about human rights. Men will be detained at Number Four, while women will be sent to the Women’s Jail.

This tour is available on Fridays at a cost of R150 per learner.
