Robben Island

Recorded April 26, 2012
Robben Island is an island in Table Bay off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa. It is of particular note that it was here that Nobel Laureate and former President of South Africa Nelson Mandela and former South African President Kgalema Motlanthe, alongside many other political prisoners, spent 27 years imprisoned during the apartheid era. Among those political prisoners was current South African President Jacob Zuma who was imprisoned there for ten years. In the video I tour the island and prison. At the end of the video I visit Drakenstein Correctional Centre which was formerly Victor Verster Prison, the prison from which Nelson Mandela was released.

The boat journey to this island was so memorable, the excitement was overwhelming, and to walk under the entrance that said "ROBIN ISLAND" Was so surreal, great experience x

Hi there, wonderful video. I am currently woking on an educational video and would like to use a small portion of your footage. Credits will be given and I would really love to get your response

If the government was less corrupt he would’ve sparked more tourist interest into this land and built a bridge that connects it to the mainland for a more easy access of both tourists and residents and could’ve initiated infrastructure and housing developments for more citizens but then again this was is Africa.

[@bafanakhanye3265]

How can you put a bridge there😂 always has something to say about the government 😂
