Brand South Africa

On the sidelines of the #ContinentalEnergyInvestmentForum currently underway in Cape Town, South Africa, Brand South Africa invited continental media to embark on a journey of exploration to Robben Island, as South Africa commemorates Mandela Day. UNESCO World Heritage sites such as the Robben Island Museum creates an experience that highlights the day-to-day challenges former President Nelson Mandela and other struggle heroes encountered while imprisoned, in order for South Africans to enjoy the freedom we have been afforded today. #MandelaDay #30YearsofDemocracy #Freedom30 #ServiceMonth
