A first of its kind internationally Freedom Park offers its visitors a unique and exceptional opportunity to experience and appreciate our history, to walk where our ancestors have walked and to learn from our shared heritage as brothers and sisters of the diverse nation of South Africa.
In the mind’s eye Freedom Park brings back to life ancient warriors that roamed the planes of Southern Africa – it recalls to memory the thousands of men and women bearing the yoke of slavery and of a people and a culture so nearly destroyed by genocide. Above all it showcases a nation that does not shrink from even the greatest sacrifice to achieve the extraordinary.
It is the heartbeat of all that is South African- our history, our spirituality and heritage-the hub though which to know this land of promise in all its diversity.
One of the Park’s objectives is to become a major visitor attraction capable of securing substantial numbers of visitors locally, nationally, continentally and internationally. The Park will thus add to the critical mass of internationally known attractions in Gauteng and brand Tshwane as a cultural tourist destination.
Dr Nelson Mandela called it a “people’s shrine”, while Thabo Mbeki referred to it as an “island of peace”. Since its doors opened in 2007, Freedom Park has indeed emerged as a place that captures the heart and soul of South Africa and one of the nation’s foremost heritage tourism attractions.
There is perhaps no area in Johannesburg that offers the variety of venues as those offered by Constitution Hill. Ours is a precinct premised on unusual spaces, from small former cells where bars yet remain on the windows, to large open areas with the capacity to accommodate hundreds of people.
Of course, much of the space has been refurbished, making it welcoming for every type of corporate event, from private meetings to larger conferences, as well as private events, and from small, intimate dinners to large parties that are open to the public. We also house temporary and permanent exhibitions in the Old Fort, the Women’s Jail and Number Four which are open to our visitors.
Tshwane is South Africa’s capital city: a diplomatic city, the country’s knowledge hub, and meeting place of the world. It’s a cosmopolitan city, a destination offering an array of experiences from wildlife, rich cultural heritage & history to vibrant township life, adventure, the outdoor lifestyle with all-year-round warm weather
The Vaal: the alternative route; a business destination of choice; a must-visit experience out of the city.
The Vaal, located within the Sedibeng District Municipality, offers tranquil surroundings for team building activities, unique tailor-made conferencing, event packages that can accommodate small or large groups of up to 3 000 delegates, as well as leisure options along the Vaal River.
Mogale City is a heritage and an eco-tourism destination that incorporates a variety of tourist attractions hence our tagline “Experience World Heritage, where Leisure and Adventure Awaits”. The City also has first-class hotels with conferencing, quality restaurants it is the spectacular scenery that gives this area its country charm with the draw card of the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site renowned as the place where humankind originated.
