Leaving the convention centre your next stop is the Apartheid Museum, the first of its kind, illustrating the rise and fall of apartheid.

The exhibits have been assembled and organised by a multi-disciplinary team of curators, film-makers, historians and designers. They include provocative film footage, photographs, text panels and artefacts illustrating the events and human stories that are part of the epic saga, known as apartheid. A series of 22 individual exhibition areas takes the visitor through a dramatic emotional journey that tells a story of a state-sanctioned system based on racial discrimination and the struggle of the majority to overthrow the tyranny.

• World of Beer tour

Take a tour of the SAB World of Beer, one of the top tourist attractions in South Africa. This fascinating, enjoyable and collaborative journey explores the rich history of beer, uncovering the important role beer has played culturally, socially and economically from its ancient origins, to its African heritage, its European ancestry and an insight into South Africa’s own story. Detailed information on the brewing process is provided with encouragement to sample raw barley and hops. Enjoy complimentary beer at the end of your tour.

The World of Beer was established in 1995, an iconic year in South Africa’s history. It was the country’s first full year as a democracy, the year we came together as a nation to lift the Rugby World Cup trophy, and the year SAB celebrated a century of brewing mastery. To celebrate this milestone, the company opened what was then known as the Centenary Centre, a museum designed to showcase the history of South African beer. It was one of the first major investments made in the Newtown Cultural Precinct, ultimately paving the way for future developments in the area.

Former President Nelson Mandela officially opened the centre.
