Visit to Robben Island and Khayelitsha
Robben Island is the place where Nelson Mandela spent most of his 27 years in prison. It's just off the coast of Cape Town, but far enough out to sea that it is practically impossible to escape. And Khayelitsha is the second largest informal settlement in the country with a population between 800,000 and one million.
Pictures: The quarry on Robben Island where prisoners cut out limestone
The view of Cape Town from Robben Island
Our tour guide, who was a political prisoner on the island during the 80s
Inside the prison
Visiting the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) in Khayelitsha, and the poster below is for the Toilet Queue protest put on by the Social Justice Coalition (that we went to today, pictures to come), demanding that the government provide adequate sanitation to the people of Khayelitsha
A community garden in Khayelitsha called Abalimi
Stop TB signs that are all over, in buses, buildings, lamp posts . . They used to encourage people to keep their windows closed, exacerbating the problem
