Tshwane is the new name for Pretoria, South Africa’s political capital. After offering a peaceful sanctuary for hunter-gatherers, its valleys have more recently been home to waves of pioneers: iron-age farmers; Mzilikazi’s empire; Boer settlers; South Africans of all cultures moving to the city in search of work and a better life; our new democratic government.
Social history tour of all Tshwane’s pioneering people. Encounter Afrikaner history at the Voortrekker Monument; commemoration of freedom struggles at Freedom Park; past and present at Church Square and multicultural Marabastad. After lunch, we visit Lady Selborne, where a forcibly removed community is now making a return. Listen to community history and visit a jazz tavern in the township of Atteridgeville.
