IBM CSC South Africa Team 19: Sunday is a graduation of Saturday

Eager to see the surprises for the day, checked out of the hotel in a hurry...just after completing blogging about Saturday adventure. First we will go to the Apartheid Museum. The baggages we left at the hotel to be picked up by an agency and transfer to our host place of the assignment, Pretoria.

Apartheid Museum

There are two types of the tickets, one for the Whites and the other for Non-Whites...they will take two different entry gates, the way it was earlier.

Whites and Non-Whites entry tickets

The tickets are given in random order. It is coincidence that I got non-whites one :). I entered. It is not any loss as after a while the roads merge and till that time everything is visible on the other way.

Just after entrance

The museum is about the history, the people on the revolution, Nelson Mandela and revolutionary music. One album was playing - the "The African Choir 1891 Re-Imagined" - fantastic music. It is available on youtube, see what your ears say about it.

Lunch - Bread n Pap

After lunch we visited near the Gold mines, Orlando East - Orlando West, 'Hostel' and experienced the 'Africa' culture in a convoy of tuk tuks.

The guide was telling the history of habitation in inhabitable place, the gold rush, the pain and agony wrapped in sarcastic foil. Very touchy...I was trying hard to control my tears every now and then. No, it was not that a melodrama...just powerful enough to move your heart.
