The Minister of Home Affairs, Malusi Gigaba, will on Monday, 26 September 2016, launch the replica of Nelson Mandela's Robben Island Prison Cell as part of Heritage Month in a bid to contribute substantially to the historical angle to enable young people who have never been to the Robben Island Museum to get a personal perspective of the history that unfolded there.
The launch forms part of an ongoing campaign led by Deputy Minister Fatima Chohan under the theme: Madiba, the Good Citizen", which seeks to encourage learners to value the rights and responsibilities that go along with citizenship. Deputy Minister Chohan will hand over Smart ID cards at the event.
