Finding freedom - Very educational experience from the former prisoners who went through hell during the struggle of Apartheid. Billy the former political prisoner talked about his time. I cried just to see how a human suffered physically and emotional. Our tour was a little bit rushed but didn’t stop me to see the whole view of the Table Mountain and Lion’s Head together
