A visit to the Old Fort Prison, Constitution Hill, Johannesburg, South Africa

Kelvin Lyimo
Listen to our voice crew had an opportunity to visit and make some features stories on Mandela's former prison.
Here children interview former prisoner of the Old Fort Prison, now Constitution Hill, who was imprisoned in one of the non white cell known Number 4.
Number 4 cell was notoriusly known for its brutality to african prison and some were made to perform Tauza a dance which forced prison to dance naked as away to conduct searching. A total of 5 films were made by these young people and very soon they will appear on this blog.

Hi there Kelvin,
As someone that has watched your films, I cannot wait to see them on-line for others to see. You guys ALL showed what talented young people can achieve in only two/three days of tv training. I am very proud of you all.
Best, Ingrid
