Constitutional Court of South Africa

The day was bright but the Old Fort seemed to absorb the light when we walked in. Our guide didn’t rush, and that made the small things louder—how many names can fit on a wall, how narrow a doorway can feel. Then you step into the Constitutional Court and it’s like someone opened a window in your chest. Art, wood, glass, and sunlight make the room feel human instead of remote. I sat for a minute and watched people come and go with a quiet respect you can’t fake. On the steps outside the city spread out like a postcard and I felt oddly hopeful.

Very interesting to be inside a Supreme Court of the land. They have sessions for only 6 months of the year. The 11 Constitutional Court judges can only serve a maximum of 15 years, and cannot be older than 65. Currently made up of 9 men and 2 women. These are appointed by the President of South Africa. It is free to get into the main court room, even on days when in session on first base first served. The court room has windows at ground height so you can see the feet of people walking outside. This is to represent that no one is above the law.

I took my boys for a history lesson at the Constitutional court for Reconciliation day. The self guided tour is free on any holidays. Today we walked through a history lesson. It's beautifully told. This place is a walk through our own history. The pictures and videos tell the story of what our people paid for the freedom we have today. It's sad but also we learned and appreciate where we are as a nation today. I would recommend everyone to go check it. It's a history lesson, it was like walking through time. It was an amazing experience.

A fascinating building to see, partly due to the awe that it inspires as a high court building of a major country but also because of the rich history it represents. Very cool that it's open to the public. There are quotes by Nelson Mandela displayed prominently inside. In the spirit of what the court stands for, the outside of the building prominently says "Constitutional Court" in many different languages.

I am presenting to you a registered Association of Traditional leaders which is an association of all traditional leaders in the country and it’s not in business but on traditional affairs of the different communities of the country. Its main objective is to inform these communities and government to treat traditional leaders the same and for the government to resource them in an equitable manner.

Visited Constitutional Hill, felt very sad and enlightened at the same time,interesting to see large tour groups visiting and so interested in our rich history, even got the opportunity to sit in the Constitutional Court of South Africa during a sitting of our Honorable Judges. PROUD OF MY COUNTRY, despite our shortfalls.

A place worth visiting,there are special tours that ferry tourists around Johannesburg that includes Constitutional Court with experienced tour guides who know the historical and cultural sites perfectly well.The Constitutional Court was built where Nelson Mandela was prisoned.Most political activists who stood head and shoulders against Apartheid government where sentenced there.The jails have not been tempered with with exception of Constitutional Court being built there.This is a place worth visiting especially if the tour includes Soweto in Orlando where most Activists including Mandela stayed during Apartheid years.

There is this tour guide called Ntsika, he is amazing, he is beyond tour guiding, he is like a lecturer, we really enjoyed his tour, my guest's were very much impressed about the knowledge he shared with us
