Unesco declared Robben Island in the Western Cape a World Heritage Site in 1999. Robben Island is located in Table Bay, some 6km west of Bloubergstrand, and stands some 30m above sea level. Robben Island has been used as prison and a place where people were isolated, banished and exiled to for nearly 400 years. #powerofafrica #discoverafrica #africa | Power Of Africa

HISTORY IN THE MAKING … Former political prisoners reunited at the Robben Island Museum in South Africa on Saturday. The programme started off with powerful moments of reflection and recognition. The historic event brought together those who made sacrifices for freedom, alongside leaders and guests, to honour their legacy. This includes remembering Namibia’s Andimba Toivo ya Toivo, who spent 16 years in prison, and South Africa’s former president Nelson Mandela, who was imprisoned for 27 years.
