Robben Island
Located in the Table Bay in the city of Cape Town, this island was formerly considered to be a maximum security prison whereby the former South African president and anti-apartheid social activist Nelson Mandela had served twenty of twenty-seven years in prison. It has since, post-apartheid, been globally recognized as one of the national heritage sites of South Africa. The Robben Island Museum, which was initiated in 1997, is put in place "to preserve and promote Robben Island as an inspirational national treasure and World Heritage Site that symbolises the triumph of the human spirit over extreme adversity and injustice."
