From the 17th to the 20th centuries, Robben Island served as a place of banishment, isolation and imprisonment. Today it is a World Heritage Site and museum, a poignant reminder to the newly democratic South Africa of the price paid for freedom. |

Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe Traveling Exhibition |
|
 Date: 27 March to 8 June
Venue: Nelson Mandela Gateway to Robben Island, Clock Tower Precinct, V&A Waterfront.
Forty years ago, in 1969, Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe, founder member and first President of the Pan-Africanist Congress (PAC), was released from Robben Island. Robert Sobukwe was imprisoned for three years for his role in the PAC’s Pass Law protests of 21 March 1960. The state then introduced the Sobukwe Clause that allowed for his complete isolation and incarceration on Robben Island for six years.
This Traveling Exhibition commemorates and celebrates his political life and contribution to the struggle against oppression in South Africa. |

Robben Island Museum salutes Mike Terry (1947 - 2008) |

The name Mike Terry is not widely known in South Africa, yet he personifies one of the pillars that we relied on to deliver South Africa from racial oppression. Bringing an end to apartheid depended on many things: internal popular uprising and resistance, on diplomatic international isolation of apartheid South Africa, on underground organisation and on armed resistance internally and in the front line States that South Africa military invaded. |
