Apartheid Museum

The next stop on the bus tour was the Apartheid Museum, so I spent over two hours in this place. It took you through the origins of the policy with racial classification, details on the hundreds of laws passed to deny basic rights to the majority population. Much attention is paid to the resistance and leadership of such men as Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, Steve Biko and others.

Almost half the museum, though, is about the negotiations, Mandela's release, the end of the regime and first democratic elections leading to the new constitution and ends hoping that the 'rainbow nation' will succeed in putting the past behind.
