Our Iziko (pronounced “ee-ZEE-ko”) leaders — Mzi, Nkosi, Pokie, and Steve — doled out t-shirts, water bottles, pens, notebooks, the wi-fi password, towels, a booklet containing the schedule, brief summaries about the sites of struggle we would be visiting, and poems and prayers we would be using in our group times.

The group toured the Old Fort Prison Complex at Constitution Hill, learning about the historical figures who were held captive there, like Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela, among others.
